Is the ship safe after log-off?

[vyalern]

Hi,

 

For the third time (I play multi player), after log off in safe areas through safe time, when I come back I realized my ship is destroyed. Are here any special rules or is it a bug?

Your ship is not protected when you log off in vanilla.

Even logging off in a safe sector still keeps the possibility of a player moving your ship through a gate to a normal sector and destroy it there.

 

On our servers we have a custom mod that protects your ship on logoff. There is also protection against PvP damage outside the center ring on the CorePvP servers and full protection on the PvE server.

For me its fine, as is more realistic.

 

So you mean is not safe at all, or just xxx minutes after log off?

It's not safe at all, only neutral sectors will provide some protection but that can also be bypassed by pushing your ship to another sector through a gate.

log out in a system without anything.. so it is very difficult to find it... or log out in a save place... neutral sector an fly may be 100 km or 200 in a direction .. so no body will pull your ship over such a distance

personally I like to find a spot in the middle of nowhere that you think has low traffic. that's probably your best bet

I have another strategy to secure a sector:

 

I use big-asteroid blueprints to build ships to block gates in a secure sector. I place those huge asteroids inside the gates; due to their size they can't go through them. After that I build "chains" with rock around the gate frame so asteroids themselves can't be moved. Ships inside the neutral sector can't use gates. The downside is that ships that use those gates to travel to the neutral sector explode due to collision damage.
