As this is a new server, and these settings are stored per server, you are a new user when it comes to that particular server. If you want these settings to be different from the default (meaning, you don’t want cabin and pilots taken care of automatically), you’ll need to change these settings every time you start playing on a new server. It’s not an account setting, it’s a game world setting. Anything you change in this screen is applied only to the server that is active at that time, not account wide.
