If you have a faction module on your ship and activate it only people from your faction can dismantle it.

Destroying is another story though.  Only sure way to keep something from being destroyed is to have a faction home, and have whatever you want protected docked to the faction home.  The faction home itself and anything docked are immune to damage.

P.S. And we appear to have broken the server again.

Server's down again; I *think* it was my fault.

I closed in on a ship that was embedded in a planet and the server stopped loading the chunks.

There seems to be a server restarter over in the official forums.

[Morrigi]

Yep, server broke right after "Cool, I found a ship embedded in a planet," or something along those lines from Blaze.

[Greiger]

Good job breaking it blaze

That might be a good thing for our host to get so he (or she) doesn't have to constantly put it back up herself (or himself)

Seriously guys, ships and planets don't mix very well. Try to avoid leaving your ships in the planets surface when you are logged out, or going to a distant location. Orbit makes for a great parking lot.

Ohh is that what it is? I'll remember that.

Is it coming up any time? *sniffle* *twitch*

It is fine if you actually dock your ship, as then it pretty much is treated like part of the planet collision wise. Just leaving it on the ground, however, causes problems.
There used to be a landing module that would allow you to dock onto things that didn't have a docking module, such as planets or anywhere you liked on another ship, but apparently it was just as glitch and unstable.

It's only a problem if you got bad lag:
The ships load first and start falling, then the planet loads, trapping the ships.

Are the developers aware of this problem? I don't think it would be that hard to fix.

Let's hope they move collisions server side later, then we won't have this problem.

Ok, just downloaded, what do I do ? I did the tutorial, but it doesn't say how do I get credits ? What are basic ships designs ?

To get credits, sell blocks at your nearest Trading guild Station. Basic ship designs are pretty much nonexistent.

Hm, ok, but how do I get blocks ? I have the basic blocks, but I just did a small ship (core, power source, thruster). I took some blocks from an asteroid, but they're worthless.

Find ores/cacti. Sell them.
Or process them, but nobody seems to know how they work.

So our planet was attacked by pirates! Somebody should have told them that faction homes are immune to damage. 
Most of them ended up getting stuck in a cavern, putting them out of the way of the constant stream of turret fire, but their crappy pirate AI pretty much left them between a rock and a rocket launcher. Was pretty good seeing the turrets spinning around to shoot at the ships though.
