Description
Full ship remodel for "Squids in space - A Splatoon mod" Inkling Race.
🦑
Technical Info:
The ship is derived off the original T5 Ship; meaning if you're still T5 or lower then you're A-OKAY to install this here lil' mod.
(Only when you upgrade your ship will the new shell appear!)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Squids in Space mod!!
Single handidly the best Starbound mod of all time..
But there's *one* teeny tiny gripe I have with it:
How come the bestest race mod-- have a recolored Hylotl ship??
Like, I get why Hylotl of all races, both Inklings & the Hylotl are cute sea creatures with Japanese culture...
And so my mind went racing- if the original mod won't do it I WILL.
Now, I was like, OKAY- Let's change the ship into A GIANT SQUID, because of course the Inklings would build their spaceships in the shape of their own.
🦑
-Changed a few sprites relating to the ship
-Planning to add support for T9+T10 Ships mod!

Any plans to make an Octoling ship?
I would be pretty interested in potentially adding both ships to Inkbound proper if you did so. ;)

Congratulations on releasing the Kraken!

I feel like some of the hull could do with a bit more detailing, but that's the only critique I'd offer; it's a cohesive design with a clear theme, good color choice, and a convenient layout! I'd use it if I used Inklings.

@ Marinebeast
Ahh I feel honored you like it so much!!
And sure, I'd love to lend a hand and help with the original mod someday, especially since I now have plans to make a new race (unrelated to Splatoon) and I'd love to know the ropes!

Also sorry about the tease :undyne:

"How come the bestest race mod-- have a recolored Hylotl ship??"

Because I don't know how to sprite ships (not awful good at spriting machines or technology, need to practice more) and Inklings love to steal + recolor things from other races. They're scoundrels like that.

That said... I wouldn't be averse to making this mod official at some point, if you were interested. I'm currently hard at work hammering out the Many Many Many Things to be added in the v3.8 update, which is slated for December, and new ships aren't quite a part of that. So any cooperative work would have to come afterwards!

That said. I do like this a lot, it's definitely on-flavor and looks quite nice. The idea of adding turrets is a fun one (maybe some chargers on the ship proper? oooh). I'll have to play around with it a bit to see how it looks. :3 I look forward to seeing how it develops!

I'm going to completely revamp the background textures in a few weeks, adding a giant window in the big room, fixing some mistakes here and there (especially on the bigger tiers), adding turrets to the ship, freshening up the shading and such-- and changing the big tentacles on the back because they're more Octo-ish atm, all this won't affect your save if you download now though!

I just wanted to get this out asap so folks can play it and because I'm busy..!
