Spektor can you teach me how to make a random pirate spawn event for a0.6?
Thanks

Sure, I'll post the content's of an event file once I make the first pirate spawning random event.
Also you can checkout how it was done in a0.5.1
in a0.6 it's basically the same, only the formatting inside the event's xmls has changed a little bit.
Example:
Instead of
<min_event_qty>1</min_event_qty>
it's now
<event_param min_event_qty="1"></event_param>
And you can checkout the event files that are already present in the a0.6
there's an event that spawns in the starting station ship.

What's the error message? Does the proxy support UDP? How do you force the game to use the proxy?

Looks good.

Only thing Is that your ship doesn't have a captain.
So either add:
<ship_param ship_owner="OWNER NAME"></ship_param> (if you want it to belong to some faction for example)
or change for one of the spawned NPCs
<npc_param npc_is_crew="1"></npc_param>
to
<npc_param npc_is_captain="1"></npc_param>

Also to be 100% sure that it works - you need to test it

Maybe I've missed something too

I left out a captain because i thought that the <ship_ai type="PIRATE_OWNER"></ship_ai> would give it Pirate_owner as the captain (or was this changed?).
EDIT: I did test it but I could find no pirates, maybe you should test it.

Ah, didn't notice it. This should work too.

Try changing the chance to 100% and make sure that you are looking in the right sectors 0-4.

Will do. (0 sector is just a blank one right?)

Looks like a bug then.
Guess I'll have to check it out

I also found another bug - all shops in a0.6 are broken, they have price 0 always.
