Foolproof anti-theft ship security systems.

Wouldn't that not hit faction members?

Yes, that's the point.

Why would a faction member be using my ship without permission?

hehe! This all reminds me of the MagnaVolt commercial in the original Robocop...

LOL - that's awesome!

DragleonesIt could also totally kill me if I didn't deactivate it!

This is why I'll probably never do this. XD

...However, some kind of "Star Knife"-type ship using autofiring rapid pulsers is planned.

I think the problems here is how factions are handled.

They are rather clans than factions. A real-life faction can have many sub-factions united under one president or any other government.

And even military leaders are not permitted to kill annoying civil reporters just for fun.​

I think we don't need a perfect permission-system, just one to match the real world more.

Thiefs -even faction members- should be able to break it, but there should always -dependent on design- be a risk of losing reputation or triggering a trap.

A person should at least be able to

1. add a named permission rule-set to a ship
2. include other rule-sets as defaults for this rule-set (white-listed (1) + black-listed (-1.5) = -0.5 = negative = forbidden ?) with restricted possible permissions.
   
3. include a faction rule-set with restricted possible permissions.

Link different ship areas or computers to different rule-sets (such as doors which auto-close after a few seconds, etc).
Somebody could be allowed to enter small weapon computers, but not the main weapon computer for example.​
