Ship Variation Expansion [7.X updated]

SVE aims to add lore friendly ships to the game. The ships are made with the factions artstyles in mind and should fit in the game seamlessly.
All ships are added to shipyards of their respective factions and require permits depending on their classification to be bought.
Blueprints for most ships are available, though some remain exclusive - this is intentional.
Some of the vessels have different variants available.
All ships support paintjobs.

The ships are spawned instantly in a new game and the AI will also build them over time in existing saves.
All ships require adequate licences to obtain or can be captured from the various AI factions while going about their business. A few models can also be found as derelicts in various sectors.

Some cool folks made some more tweaks to this mod, which you can find below!
