Help with Pirates.

Hi i'm having problems with Pirates in my single player game. They will not spawn naturally. I was wondering it there was a guide for this.

Everyone is having this issue, sometimes they'll spawn and other times they won't.

what are all there conditions to spawn?

 

[StormWing0]

Normally a Spawn Timer or attacking Pirate or Trading Guild Stations. For some reason though someone broke the spawning system a few patches ago so it is hit or miss if they actually spawn.

Also ships and stations of some kind have to be set to spawn under AI control, You can do this by going into the catalog and it is under permissions.

in the mean time use this command
/spawn_mobs Isanth-VI -1 1
This will spawn one mob for you to shoot at.

Here's another one that seems to be semi broken right now on my end. /initiate_wave 0 1 -1, the first parameter is wave level, the second is time before it shows up (in seconds), the third is the faction it is being spawned for.

I'm sure there's a way to rig this to get a working spawning system again but it does come in handy if you want to send waves at yourself.

In any event hopefully the devs fix this soon.

In the mean time we have to wait for some one to fix it "Some Day". Perhaps they will fix the system all together.
