Ships inside starbase force fields
A ship left unpiloted in space will have its starbase force field password cleared during the daily downtime.
If the password was the only reason the ship had a right to be inside the starbase then the ship will be ejected from the force field. Anybody will then be free to board the ship and claim it.
This can be prevented in several ways, including by placing all unpiloted ships in ship maintenance arrays, or by ensuring that the starbase's force field settings are correctly set. They define what gives a pilot the right to stay inside the force field, and can be adjusted through the control tower interface. Right-click the Control Tower and select the "Management" menu. There, look for the "Force field" tab and select "allow corporation/alliance member usage".
Caution: Having ships lost or stolen due to starbase field mechanics will not result in GM reimbursement. To store ships safely, make use of the Ship Maintenance Array module.
