New Ships (added by Domain Drones+ New Drones):
Station Images:
Spoiler
Large, still functional Domain Fortresses. These automated fortresses were, at one point, mass produced and spread across the galaxy.
They have no shields, no energy weapons, but, they have lots of hull, modules and armor, lots of ballistic weapons and a symmetrical design meaning it is hard to fight from any angle.

Supercapital Ship Images:
Spoiler
A monstrous vessel that is cobbled together from a dozen other large Derelict ships. Salvagers dub these "Domains End" ships due to ancient records suggesting similar ships were deployed to obliterate rogue colonies.
The Devourer, an overhauled Mothership with multiple armed modules and a vast hanger bay.

Capital Ship Images:
Spoiler
A larger Derelict capital ship usually guarding higher value locations.
A heavy-duty cargo drone designed and built by rogue or evolved Mothership/Survey ship AIs.
A converted Atlas cargo hauler ship. Far more durable and better armed than its normal variants
A converted Prometheus fuel tanker ship. More durable and better armed than its normal variant.
Survey Ship: A recoverable, durable and well-armed cargo vessel.
The Linebreaker, a large ship with two modules on its sides, it lacks ballistic slots but houses a large hanger and a large series of missiles. It also has a built-in shield.

Cruiser Ship Images:
Spoiler
The Heavy Hauler. A multi-use Fuel and Cargo ship that also bears significant armor.
The Osiron Minotaur. A shielded and surprisingly quick (for a Derelict ship) missile cruiser with Auto-forging missiles.
The Campaigner is a carrier and mining support ship that is treated as a non-combatant's vessel by the Derelicts. They possess tugging equipment that increases the burn speed of the fleets slowest ships. It is long suspected by those aware of the War Drone fleets in the wild sectors of space that it is these vessels that gather salvage and raw ores for Survey Ships and Motherships to process and use to churn out more ships.
The Bulldog MK3 has a small hanger and 1 large weapon slot. It additionally has advanced targeting systems that far outdo much of standard targeting hullmods. When given escorting vessels, these ships can slug out shells at vast distances to support assaults.
Survey Probe: A recoverable, smaller, less armed/armoured but is a faster variant of the Survey Ship. More common.

A converted Phaeton fuel tanker. Better armed and armoured than its normal variant.
The Ward Mutated Drone. A high-tech, fast ship with an all-energy-based arsenal and shields.

Added:
Motherships now spawn Derelict Fleets in the system they are in. Credit to Lucas04 for this as he made the system for it.
4. 14/01/2023
Changed core id of the mod. Might be save compatible but the mod will need to be re-enabled (new name is now "All the Domain Drones+ Vanilla")

The Bulldog Protector MK2, a ballistic only ship with ammo loaders and durable armor.
5: 15/01/2023
DD+ Vanilla: Survey Probes and Survey Ships now spawn Derelict fleets like Motherships (thanks to Lucas04 for the help again!). They spawn fewer, smaller fleets with longer respawn times than Motherships however.
DD+ New Drones: New Paragon sized ship added, the Domains End Abomination variant. Has a very low weight chance in spawning but be careful! It is also capturable
In the console command area (with the Console mod), you can type: addship dom+domainsend_abomination to get this exact variant. Removing the "_abomination" will give you the plain ship.
DD+ Vayras Ship Pack: Added tag to all domain ships that were recently added to Vayras ships.
6. 17/01/2023
Changelog:
DD+ Vanilla: Drone Fleets now also come with Cargo ships and Fuel ships if they are available (none will show up if you have no mods that add any. DD+ New Drones adds some)

Added one new Freighter ship
Added two new Fuel ships
Added one new Utility ship that has tugs and mining lasers.
8.
DD+ Drones
Added new fuel ship, added three tiers of a Domain Station which are buildable at colonies.
25/3/23:
Modified Campaigner, increasing its supply and fuel usage.
Changed a file name to help Linux users.
Derelict fleet AI civilian ships have been given "Militarised Subsystems" (players can remove this from salvaged ships as it is not built-in) and some civilian ship variants have received a better armament, this should make them enter battle alongside the rest of their combat ships. Rather than arriving once they are destroyed.
06/4/2023:
ATDD+ New Drones:
Requires new game
Added Survey ship and Survey Probes, these can be found as part of normal derelict fleets, but are, as you guessed, are more commonly found at Survey ships and Survey probes.
Fixed crashing related to fighter BPs.
Added light dual mortar.
12/04/2023
0.6D
This update is save-compatible.
This update should be compatible with older versions.
Multiple new ships, thanks to @blue ore yellow josh for the sprites. The ships are the new Mothership "Devourer" (which has a tiny chance of being a part of fleets and a 50% of replacing the Mothership station (yes, the ship is recoverable)) and the Ward Mutant drone which is a high-tech War Drone.
09/08/2024
Nothing fancy, I just changed the mod_info for Vanilla+ and New Drones+ so they work with 0.97. I did some light testing and everything appeared to work (new ships and mothership fleet spawning)
Submods are untested and thus remain for the older version. You are more than welcome to change their mod_info to be for 0.97 and try em out.
