How do I protect my ships when logged off?

[Alex the White]

Someone salvaged half my ship on my server while I was building a dock, and now I want to know if there's any way to protect myself from assholes like that, especially when logged off :\

 

[KennyKatsu]

Claim a planet and put the ship there

 

[Alex the White]

How would that protect the ship from people doing that? If they found it they\'d still take it apart.

 

[Biker_rat88]

you need to make a faction and put a faction block on your ship, so i believe

 

[KennyKatsu]

Put a faction module on the ship, it gives protection to your ship and you can set it home to prevent attacks

 

[Alex the White]

I had a faction module on it. Does it protect the ship when docked?

 

[Biker_rat88]

did you create a faction as well? yes it stops people from being abole to steal/ mine your ship

 

[KennyKatsu]

It needs to be docked in the planet. Other wise it can be salvage cannonned

 

[Alex the White]

It can be salvage cannon\'d on a space center too?at least one with a faction badge

 

[Alex the White]

I created a faction, the ship had a faction badge, and it got salvaged. So it has to be docked to be protected from salvage?

 

[WatcherCCG]

As far as I know, unless the ship\'s docked inside a faction base, you CAN\'T protect your ship from salvage pirates. The only other thing you could do is find a planet and then cover your ship with the planet\'s crust. Schema needs to add a function where your ship despawns with you if you log out inside the ship core.

 

[Alex the White]

So if the ship is docked it protects against salvage pirates?



Because I spent 4 hours making a ship and as I was making the docking port half of it got eaten by some bitch :\\

 

[Alex the White]

And yopu sure about this? Someone won\'t be able to come over and steal all my shit next time I try?

This is how to 100% protect your ship

1: Make a faction

2: Put a faction module on your faction\'s base

3: Activate the module by pressing R on it and clicking \'\'Enter faciton signature\'\'

4: Press R on the module again and click \'\'Make faction home base\'\'

5: Make a docking mechanism ATTATCHED TO THE FACTION BASE

6: Land your ship on it and it is considered part of your home base, and your ship cannot be attacked or edited or salvaged.

 

[Alex the White]

Perfect, will try the above! Thanks.

 

[KennyKatsu]

Completely ignoring my comments...

THANK YOU BASED CATALOG



i don\'t even care anymore about my ship, I can rebuy it instantly. omfg. thank. god.

So does that mean we don\'t need to have a second faction module on the ship? We just need to be docked onto a docking module which is on a planet with a faction module?

 

[Sphinx111]

Moth - You will need a faction module on the ship to be able to dock.
Docking requires both units to be in the same faction.

What if i get a space station, put a faction module on it and dock my ship.... will it be safe ?
