Stealth Cruiser -Hylotl-

This is a tweak/raceport of Iroaseta's lovely "Solar Cruiser -Human-" mod! ( https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370889294 )

Have you ever said to yourself, "man, for being such an aesthetically inclined culture, the Hylotl ship sure is... plain? And clunky looking, at high tiers?"
Well, have I got a mod for you! It's lean, fast, and looks like it'd be at home blasting bubbstep under the sea!

If you want to switch mid playthrough, first, know that things might break. If you still want to though, this should work:
1. BACK UP YOUR SAVE.
2. Get everything off your ship, put it somewhere safe.
3. Save and exit while off your ship (planet surface/The Outpost)
4. Install mod.
5. Delete your character's "shipworld" file.
6. Run game.
7. Lug all your junk onto your new ship.
8. Enjoy!

So a few bugs/compatibility issues have been brought up. Frankly my technical know-how on fixing them is... almost nonexistent, I only recolored stuff and replaced names to make this in the first place, so... guess I'll just list 'em here, and if anybody DOES know how to fix them and cares enough to do so, go ahead and upload your own version, I'll link it here if you comment about it.

Thing 1: Doesn't work with Frackin' Universe's Build Your Own Ship function. You boot straight into T0 of this ship- not an issue if everyone playing Hylotl on your server wants to use this ship, but if one person wants to BYOS and one wants to use this you're gonna have issues. POSSIBLE WORKAROUND (only lightly tested): If you want to BYOS, make your character, get onto your ship and select BYOS before you install the mod. Please note that when I say "lightly tested" I mean "after installing the mod the character still had their BYOS ship", ship progression may not work correctly.

Thing 2: Mod conflict between this and the original Human Solar Cruiser causing visual mismatches. I'm almost certain I know why this is happening - some of the filenames in this mod were never changed ("ships/solarcruiser" and its contents, for anyone trying to fix, as well as the "objects/ship/boosters" files), so I assume when both are run at once the files get messed up. Unfortunately, my attempt to fix it (changing "solarcruiser" to "stealthcruiser" on all the filenames and editing the text files that were referencing them to match) just made the mod stop working entirely, new characters would boot in with the default Hylotl ship, so uh.

Thing 2.5?: Another user noted that sails were appearing orange, which sounds like Thing 2 at work, but it might have been something else. No idea why else that would be happening, though.

Thing 3?: Something in bridge/pilot area causing fire damage to NPCs. I never experienced this personally, and considering my crew's habit of packing themselves in there like sardines, I've got three logical possibilities: 1) my installation of Too Dumb to Live was preventing the fire damage, in which case I'd guess the teleporter pad is causing it, as it uses a particle effect called "ember". 2) some kind of strange interaction with another mod was causing it. 3) user had a furnace in the area and wasn't aware of the NPCs scorching themselves on it behavior?
