GK's ships use a DB, not a levelnpc.
and putnpcs are -not- db's. they are local levelnpcs (and thus can be removed with /clearnpcs).

if you drop a gralat in a level, you can find the script listed in rc ftp (i think its scripts/, but i don't remember) as a localnpc with the npcid and x and y in its filename
