Yesterday i ran into a strange bug: I went to an allied station, and it loaded everything as normal-except a 10*10*10 cube of blocks where the faction module was. As a result, I was able to open doors, activate gravity and access chest, all without permission modules. I couldn't break blocks by hand, but I'm pretty sure i could've shot it down.
TL, DR: Stations need to be protected if not completely loaded.
