Pirate Spawn Glitch

[RegartoVistoso]

So me and my friend have a server set up for the both of us to play on. It's only been up for about 12 hours and we decided to disable pirates for the first short while so we could get a few good ships before re-enabling the pirates. For some reason however two pirates spawned right on top of a small station I am currently building, at which point we shut off the server. We then disabled the base pirate schematic and tried restarting the server, and a few more pirates of the same ship model spawned in on top of the ones from before. The pirates shouldn't be able to spawn, and shouldn't be able to use the Isanth VI ship model, yet they still are and I dont have the resources or time to build a ship to kill them without them destroying my station. Is there any way to fix this problem, my station only has 522 shield blocks and I don't think we can put the server back up again without the shields failing and the station taking some serious damage. A solution to this problem would be much appriciated ASAP, thanks for your help!

You can use the in-game admin command /sector_chmod 2 2 2 + protected to prevent all damage in sector 2 2 2. Replace 2 2 2 with the sector your station is in. You have to be in the admins.txt to use it. I\'m not familiar with the out of game admin tools (StarMote), so I don\'t know if you can do it without logging in or with the server shut down.

You should probably check the admin tab of the ships list in-game to make sure the Isanth design is really gone. (Also, you really only needed to remove the enemy permission to use it, I believe)

Good luck!
