Protecting your ship

[Fluffy_Raptor]

I have a question involving protecting my ship. Originally what I did to protect my ship was I claimed a "Station" as a faction home and put my ship in one of the four docking area it has and closed off all the entrances so no one could get in as it was protected by our faction home. The problem with that is because you cannot make the station a 'ship" so it is hard to build on it and expand the docking areas to fit larger ships. Also because it is not a ship you cannot dock ships on it. So how do you protect your ship given these circumstances? I spent a lot of time on the ship I am currently using I want to make sure someone just doesn't take it.



Also didn't know where to post this. If this was the wrong section please tell me.

You add docking modules to dock it and enchancers to it to make dock area bigger

and to build you add a build block to it

Yes but in order to become a dock for ships to land doesn\'t it have to be a \"ship\" with a ship core? Meaning I can\'t build a dock on my faction home which is a Station.

I mostly use my a faction base with build blocks to build quick defenses and other assorted structures. It is quite easy to create a docking region that can encompass a very large ship. It might not be very pretty but it will be functional.

So what you are saying is it is possible to build a functioning dock on a Station using build blocks?

If so I\'ll check that out! Thank you.

Build blocks enable the Build Mode on your station (or a planet\'s surface) once you place one and enter it like a Ship Core. From there, you can build on it like you would a ship.

Just use build blocks to get into the advanced build mode.

CRTL/STRG to see the building-box-size modifiers and the controls to turn the part.

You can also use your mouse wheel while crtl is pressed to turn parts.

docking modules have to point away from the spot they are build on.
