    Hello everyone, my questions are fairly simple.

    I've noticed that If I put my ship up in the Catalog, and continuously save it, pirates will use that model. If I take away Ownership/permissions/other, will that take away the ability for pirates to use my ship? Even if it is unfinished. They still pack a serious punch and is making me rethink my ship design layout.



    How do we interact with Traders? If there is any coding to allow for such interation as of right now. I've seen a few fly by my planet, and both times they were using my older unfinished ship model as well, same question applies to this sentence, does that mean the traders no longer have access to my ship model?



    I am really confused about the Turret Docking system, how do I use them? I understand the concept of what they are for in a way, however I'm not sure what to put on them, if anything at all. Do I just lay them out? Do I put an Antimatter Cannon or a Missle with their own respective computer on them? Can I land on them?



    Any answers would be helpful! ^.^

    Only turrets (ships with no blocks below the core on the Y axis) can dock on turret docking units.



    The only interaction with traders at the moment is with the shop.



    To prevent pirates from using your ship blueprints, go to the admin tab and click the permissions tab. You\'ll be able to disable pirates using htat ship design.

    Thanks, really helped out a lot!



    Edit: Sorry again for the question, when I edit the permissions, do traders no longer have access to my ships as well? Much like the Pirates?

    I only ask because I think it\'s awesome that they are able to use them, but I just like it better when they aren\'t being shooting back at me. lol
