Basically, there are ships and stations scattered around the map. In 2 day's searching I found, 2 bases, 6 large shps, 4 small ships. All without cheats or mods...

Make sure you have the world size set to infinite. And you need the "Random Encounters" option that others have mentioned as well.

In Survival play, from what I've read and seen there are 50 items to explore/find. These are ships from tiny to enormous in size and stations (either floating or attached to an asteroid). Once you have found all of those items, exploration yields nothing more interesting to do (currently). I have found all of them so far and any further exploration would be just locating more of the same.

Not all derelict ships are stellar in design, but I did find several of them very interesting to explore inside. The derelict stations were a mixed bag with only a few of them being interesting to walk through. Harvesting the derelict ships for parts can easily fill dozens of large containers with parts (given a good grinding facility). You literally would never need to mine or manufacture again. I'd love to see a much greater quantity/variety of things to explore and I'm guessing that is what Planets can bring to the table.

What I'd like to do is add designs to the Derelict folder and have them spawn automatically. I'd add about 250... For more Fun...

Yeah, I see that there are 95 items in the Prefab folder which include both the derelicts and the items that are part of the available player selected start-up game worlds. I have no idea though how/where the game controls what .sbc files are included in the derelicts that spawn.

I'm thinking of Editing all the out dated designs, to have more playable designs. Like the RAVEN, It's always dammaged.
I took out all the doors, upgraded for 02, Took out solar panel cover, and put a glass top on it..
