If you dont have a sign on a ship dont teleport to spawn.

[TomLewis]

When you /beam without a ship/crew sign, do not teleport to spawn, just send a message in chat to say that you don't have one set.
This is such a weird mechanic that I cant think of a reason for.

The reason we would like to use beam is if you log out and your ship is moving, want to be able to teleport back to the ship when you log back in.

When setting up a ship to test if your Crew sign is setup correctly if you use /beam and you haven't written the sign correctly, you randomly get sent to spawn!
