Ship stuck in station and pirates attacking

[Tuckaman]

I headed to a station to test out some new weapons but upon arrival the blocks of the station failed to render and I collided with invisible blocks. I restarted the game as this has fixed the issue for me in the past but found that the ship was stuck in the walls of the hangar. As I was digging it out, pirates began to attack and I had no way to attack them. Is there some way to disable the pirate AIs? I may be able to get into the ship, save it and load it at another stage, but it will probably suffer some damage. The other alternative I have investigated is spawning another ship and luring the pirates away or taking them on. Any other options would, however, be appreciated.

Getting in another ship and taking care of them would be easiest

Assuming this is happening on singleplayer;

• If you can get into your ship, get in and enter the following command: \"/change_sector 1 2 3\" or any three numbers you want there to teleport you and your ship to another sector.
• If you cannot get into your ship, buy the design again from the catalog; Assuming you saved it before you tried any of this stuff, of course.
• If you cannot get into your ship immediately but need to remove the pirates ASAP, use the following command: \"/despawn_all MOB_ all true\"

Assuming this is happening on multiplayer;

• Call for an admins help; If the server you are on is well-cared for, there should usually be an admin on to help you get your ship out; that\'s assuming of course the server admins are permitted to do such by the host.

Thanks guys, I will try these. Unfortunately destroying the ships is difficult as I have saved no blueprints. I have tried using the Isanth-VI, but the fact that the pirates have these makes it one against ten. The latter option(s) should be viable if I\'m quick.

I have saved no blueprints.


In the future, remember to ALWAYS save your work before you do anything potentially risky or dangerous with the ship. This is an easy-to-avoid problem if you play it smart and don\'t forget to save often.

I used the \"/destroy_entity\" command to remove the pirates and then teleported my ship to a different sector. The \"/despawn_all MOB_ all true\" command had no effect and only gave me an error message.
