You can ask an admin/owner of your faction to make it public, and then you can make it private 🙂

Next time you place an alien core.
Do not use the AC command.
Hit the TAB key instead and you can access the control panel from the icons at the top, you will see the vessel set to" no faction" you can make private or faction from there.
If you use the AC command it defaults your alien core to faction which is annoying.

Thank you. I will try that in the future. I wasn’t able to access the structure using “P” so I wasn’t sure what else to do.

If this is really how things work now then perhaps we can get the guide updated with the most recent information? It sure could help a lot of players, since this keeps happening.
