Faction and Item use permissions

[RoY]

I haven't seen it mentioned but are there any plans to add more secure permission types to bases and Item usage?

As it is now bringing new people into a faction is major risk of having your base, SV, CV ripped apart by any new member to a faction. Major Risk

Hope to see something along the lines where members can for example access items for use but not be able to take apart or modify an item created by another member.

Also would be nice to give public access to SV, CV seats without adding to faction and be able to allow use of O2 and Medic station to non faction members without giving them access to take it apart.

Will we see more permission types in the future?

Thoughts?

Be careful who you play with.

This is not just a risk, its happening often to the trusting, and it is limiting Faction size growth,

But with the serious structural issues being fixed, perhaps we all just need to be careful until this can be addressed - 5 man dev team and all that.

ya factions are kinda pointless in the game right now, unless your main goal in MP is PVP death. The game needs a lot of balancing and way more content. Theres so much more potential to be unlocked. Wait, wait, wait.

Hummel posted a teaser not too long ago, said they are currently working on permissions.

The NDA testers are hinting they are testing "something big" and "will make people very happy".

So, Im thinking "soon"

Not totally pointless, as a solo player (mostly) on MP servers, I always create my own faction so as not to be tracked in the server list. (M is It?) It hides your location, so there is a small benefit there. I think it also reduces your base and ship location on the planetary map in that people have to be closer to see it, but I'm not 100% on that feature.

Also the new ability to "unfaction" your vessels allows for transport of non-faction entities, another step in the right direction.
