Starsector 0.96a is out! (05/05/23)
What happened with 0OP modules was they would cause the host ship to sometimes to respawn infinitely as husks. It has something to do with modules not being completely destroyed. The husks were virtually unkillable (including commands) and required a ship to manually destroy the modules from the husks. I have yet to encounter this issue with the Denmark. Is there a fairly reliable way to reproduce the undead drones? I am not running Kingstons and a quick test did not yield those undead drones.I wonder if this has to do with the 0 OP ship module weirdness. It could be worth a try giving the drones (and any ship with modules) at least 1 Ordnance Point to see if the problem persists.Aside from the Kingston crash, which i am also getting, the drones in general seem to fail to despawn/die and just hog DP forever. Doesn't matter if you recall them yourself, or if they die, they just persist forever. (The damaged drones are the ones that "died"). This also affects fights vs Pearson fleets, as at some point there are too many dead drones and the AI cannot deploy reinforcements, while also not entering a retreat state, causing a never ending battle.Spoiler

Yeah, the endlessly listed drones as deployed ships is annoying, and I haven't yet found a way to spawn ships without appearing in that list. Hopefully this last patch will make things workable by making the deploy cost zero. I've added some null-checking to the system AI which should stop the nullpointer crashes that have been experienced. I think they were caused by the fleetmember of fighters being null, but there might be some underlying issue that I don't know about.
iirc, that issue was modules exploding upon entering battle, so not really relevant to the piling up of fleetmembers.

After updating Nex, it seems like the other factions no longer send out colony fleets. Has that feature been removed?It is a known issue, there is an indev build on Discord that resolves this.
