    <name>SW_PIRATE_PATROL</name>
</blueprintList>

Blueprint lists such as this work by referencing a shipBlueprint object of that name, not an event object.

So what you're doing here is - you're asking the game to load a ship with blueprint name "SW_PIRATE_PATROL", but it's not declared anywhere in the autoBlueprints.xml file. When the game tries to retrieve the object associated with this name, it finds nothing, and crashes.

yeah as i said i have no idea how to make mods and stuff, sorry.
When you trouble shoot the problem out I have a request that i think is a good idea, do you mind going to mods, not working mods the other one and a have a good suggestion for a mod. it should be 2 or 3 down from the moderator posts, its called (IDEA) sry for taking a post spot ( zombie idea) could you read through it and tell me if its possible. you dont have to but it would help

Oops. Well, for the SW_PIRATE_PATROL, the ship IS in the autoBlueprints file. Shoulda put it in first...
