Is the drone ship still in the game, if so, how do I target it

Do you mean in the standard Juno system or on custom systems? Because you can make them visible in planet Studio. Just open droo, go to the structure section, select the drone ship and check the box "visible in map view".
Then save the planet, edit the solar system, switch the original planet with your edited one, refresh all launch locations, save and exit the editor.
That should work, I hope.

You can't really target it which is probably a big part of why it seems to not be there anymore. For a while there, the only way to target it was to target the general position at a few meters ASL which could be tricky. Then there's the fact that it wouldn't function like a real droneship because it's a structure, and players figured out ways to make functional droneships anyway
