Add a section lik this to your server.cfg.

[Spawn]
Team0-X=508
Team0-Y=1006
Team0-Radius=1
Team1-X=522
Team1-Y=1006
Team1-Radius=1
Team2-X=508
Team2-Y=1020
Team2-Radius=1
Team3-X=522
Team3-Y=1020
Team3-Radius=1

Where "Team" means frequency, the coords are X&Y, and the radius is how many tiles out from the X,Y coordinate you want the players to be able to spawn from. (E.G., Radius=3 would allow ships to spawn at 3,2, & 1.)

This means @ radius=3 the ships can spawn up to 3 tiles away from the X Y point. the XY can be more than one tile large correct? So you could make a spawn arena 1 tile wide and 10 tiles long with a radius=0 and the ships would stay in your XY area. man my brain hurts

I don't think you get the settings.
Say you have a safe zone centered at 512,512 that has a minimum radius of 10 tiles.
That means you would make X and Y = 512, and radius 10.
In short, X and Y are the center of the spawning area and radius is the max random tiles they can spawn from the center point.

Hope I'm understandable.

O.K. That makes sense. Lets say I have a spawn area that is @ x=512 Y=500 thru 524 (can I do that?) Radius=0, wouldn't that mean the players could only spawn on that line. I am trying to make a spawn line. I don't know why i am trying to do that but I am.

Impossible to do in the cfg, cause you can't make 'thru' settings with X and Y. It has to be a point, not a range.
Workaround: put solid walls for [radius] tiles away from the spawn line.
