<![CDATA[Can not .destroy() hostile spawns in owned rooms]]>Calling .destroy() on hostile spawns (experienced on "Screeps"-owned spawn) does not work in code, tested in code and by console.

This was in a room I own, and destroying all other structures work. Returns -1 (ERR_NOT_OWNER)

I've looked through the engine-code, but could not figure out why this happends. Destroying them in the UI works.

This also gives you extra energy.

I honestly think this is a purposeful decision by the admins and not a bug (although I could be wrong).
