    So after long pause from game i came back to try what's new. I built a small ship and was a bit idling around next to spawn station with a friend. Pirates came and destroyed my little starter "ship" in a second... Luckily i had just enough of money left to make a tiny salvager ship.

    Would it be possible to make the spawn area (roughly 2 sector radius around spawn sector) a safe zone, where pirates won't spawn in or come into?

    Another observation though, was that the pirates in general seemed to spawn rather aggressively. It was a very difficult beginning of a game. Had i not known that i have to go and salvage high value plexglass from some station right away, there would've been not much of a chance to continue playing at all. Without cheats at least.

    I think the difficulty setting is hard by default, so that is probably why you are having trouble. Look for sector_chmod here: http://star-made.org/content/admin-commands to see how you can make a sector safe.

    Smacks OP several times.

    I swear, this type of thread should be insta-closed...

    Want a safezone?

    Make spawn a safezone via server rules.
    Or.
    Add some turrets to kill anything that gets near.

    Turrets dont seem to have been an option as they stated they had just started and made their first ship.
