TLDR: In Survival, accessing an enemy grid from any unowned/captured block allows you to transfer ownership of enemy blocks to yourself, or any allied faction, as if the block(s) were unowned.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a new Empty World start, Survival mode
2. enable creative tools via Spacemaster (optional, makes it easier)
3. find NPC grids
5. disable creative tools
4. find a bed, couch... or hack a block
6. access grid controls via said block, select block owned by NPC, and attempt to change onwership
7. you will see that ownership can be re-assigned to self or any allied faction
Expected behaviour: should not be able to re-assign enemy blocks without first hacking them.
as far as i know it's exactly the same as this :
Hello, Engineer!
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues. Could you please let us know a little bit more about the issue? Ideally, provide a screenshot or a video of the issue. Are you playing in Single Player or Multiplayer? Do you have any Admit Tools enabled, such as "Can use all Terminals"? Do you see "access denied" for the enemy blocks in the Terminal?
Kind Regards

Dear Keen,
in your utmost wisdom so you can make enticing trailers faster, the host of the game was always in permanent partial admin mode. It used to be only on Factions tab where you could change settings of NPC factions and thus unintentionally break NPC relations to you and thus whole scenarios and in control panel where you would be able to add NPC entities to assign ownership to. But in your unending striving for excellence you have expanded this wonderful feature in last update in control panel as described in this so called bug. Let me express my gratitude for any and all your decisions and dispel any notions of any wrongdoing on your part but should you decide for another glorious change to the game mechanics, you might just as well do it on Factions tab too and not keep us undone in a part.
Glory to Keen and shame to C-players!
