Faction Offline Protection

Want some alien technology to keep your grids safe when you're offline? Here's something I threw together to avoid that feeling when you've been away for a few days, log back into your favourite server and find all your respawn points have disappeared and your ships are now someone else's!

This block will make its own grid, subgrids (on pistons/rotors) and docked grids (via connectors) invulnerable to damage and grinding, and also unable to be built onto, when all members of your faction are offline. To avoid exploits there are a few things to bear in mind:

1. The protection does not commence until 60 seconds after all faction members go offline (or 1s after a server restart.) Obviously this is to avoid combat logging-out.
2. The main grid (which this block's built on) must be static (i.e. a station.) Invulnerable torpedoes don't sound like a good idea to me.
3. The block must be owned by a player/NPC who's in a faction. "Nobody" owned blocks won't activate.
4. All terminal blocks on the main grid must be owned by the same faction as the protection block, or by a faction that's allied or neutral. If there are allied faction blocks, then obviously all members of that allied faction must also be offline.
5. Similarly, all terminal blocks on subgrids and docked grids must be owned by the same faction, an allied faction with all of its members offline, or a neutral faction, or they won't share the protection.

You'll be able to tell if you see a protected grid as it'll be partially transparent, with a "dithered" effect. Also by the fact you can't damage it :) All blocks on the protected grid will still function as normal though, and if it has guns they will certainly damage you.

Designed for use on a dedicated server obviously but also works fine in singleplayer.

Appreciate any feedback you may have.
