### Disclaimers
- [X] I have searched the issue tracker to check if the issue has already been reported.
- [ ] My issue happened while using mods.
### What happened?
The pirate vessel never seems to spawn, and there's not a sonar marker either.
This was in the Aphotic Plateau "49% difficulty".

No other error information seems to show up, that's basically it good luck.
### Reproduction steps
1. Get a pirate mission and then load the map?
2. This error message might happen?
Could maybe be linked to alien ruins also spawning in the same map? But more likely that is just coincidence.
