...Reminded about this issue when on the Light VS Dark server, my Faction (EH) was trying to set up a dockable "Embassy" to "The Light's" homebase, as well as some additional turrets under EH flag so that we can easily modify them and so that any New players to The Light faction cannon mess with them We are allied tot he faction and will remain so.

this means that any "diplomatic" shuttled docked to any other faction base can be shot at and destroyed, as is other faction's turrets on a close ally's base to bolster defences, etc, etc. This might be a good idea to fix with the upcoming fleets and AI Factions...

Perhaps a stop gap to avoid abuse in the future against the AI, perhaps have it anything docked gain the faction protection, but are "disabled" much like docking to a trading guild shop does. This means that hostile player factions cant force-dock a heavy turret to their homebase, etc.
