Think of it as the same as with airline operators, it's not their job to guard the damn planes in the hanger; they're only responsible when they take of, land or are flying in the sky.

In the case of this episode the professor took out the Gundam who as far as everyone is concerned belongs to him and Flint practically. Additionally, they all seem to be understaffed (looking at how nobody was on shift) and all this nonsense happened while on their break. There's very little incompetence involved when you consider the circumstances.
I'm pretty sure that a colony would also require security in place. In comparison, securing a tiny warship should be easier, assuming they were competent in the first place.

And by the way, just because they may have an excuse for being incompetent, arguably, it doesn't mean they're not incompetent.
