You-Cheng was right I had 1 hex assigned to the pirates with a planet in it and no planets listed in the defaultloadout for pirates.. I've also found it is possible to manually edit the map files. You have to use the editor to save it as a text file first then edit that text file, by this I mean you can add races or just rearrange there order in that maps definitions section. the game can also read the text file no need to resave it as a bianary file with the editor. This can also be done with OP and EAW maps as well.
