Stock-esque Avian Ship Remake

Description
I hated the original Avian ship so i've been working on this for the last three days. Now you can fly around an actual ship as opposed to a flying pizza slice.
This originally took me 2 days on and off to make the sprite in my spare time and the last 2 days of constantly trying to get it actually into Starbound. I did not anticipate the level of back end stuff Starbound requires to get everything working perfectly. Overall it's worth it though.

This ship is an option in the Chose Your Own Ship mod by Syovere found here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2770190868

Features:
Fully working (To the best of my knowledge) T1 to T8 versions of this ship
Functioning lightmaps as opposed to using the fulbright option.
Custom ruined background at stages T0-T2. (This is removed after the tutorial is completed don't worry.)
Turret drones. Some of the turrets at later stages deploy into drones and have their own thruster effect.

Please note:
I made this ship for myself. After posting on reddit for help people expressed they'd like to use this mod so I have uploaded it here for anyone to use. If you dislike one of the unconventional things about this ship (E.g. the starting background of the T0-T2 of this ship.) it is probably not going to change.

Known issues:
├─ The back middle thruster is not working.
└── Not too big a deal, I've not modded Starbound in forever so I lack the will to fix it.

Feel free to comment and report problems found, cheers.

Questions and Answers:

Q: Is there a version without a background?
A: Actually, as it turns out, yes. A nice user by the name of Aquamarine has made one. It can be found here for anyone who wants it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1610736652

Q: Will this ship have Tier 9 and 10 variants?
A: As I made this ship for myself and I don't use the mod probably not. If anyway wants to make T9 and T10 variants feel free and I'll link them on this mode page.

Q: Can I make some changes (E.g. make this ship available for other races) and re upload the mod?
A: As long as you provide credit and a link to this mod as the original then yes I don't see why not.

Q: Why did you make this?
A: The original looks terrible (In my eyes) and there is a surprising lack of Stock-Esque Avian ships on the workshop.

Q: Are you aware the turret drones look like Tau drones (From warhammer 40k)
A: Yes. A coincidence as I didn't realise at the time of making them.

@Syovere, drop me a message on my profile or here when it's done. I'll link it on this page if you'd like.

Certainly, I know too well the "joy" of trying to get a name change to stick. Thanks!

@Syovere Yeah sure no problem! I have no issue with the mod being used in anything else as long as credit is given. If you could use JosieGr instead of my former username NotGriffiths I'd appreciate it. Good luck with the mod!

I'm working on a mod to implement ship selection options, so you can choose whatever tier 8 ship you want. I share your opinion of the Avian pyramid, so I was wondering if I could include the T8 from this mod as one of the options, of course with full credit.

Avians are a race based on Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Mesoamerican cultures and beliefs.

Egyptian motif = Pyramids for ships
Mesopotamia motif = Pyramids or Assyrian Ziggurats as Avian structures
Mesoamerican motif = Lore of the race itself. (Aztec-like names, Mayan sacrificial methods, Monotheism)

To me, a pyramid in space doesn't make practical sense as a ship. A space station? Certainly. Glad you made this though. I wonder if it's possible to make racial space stations. That'd be sure to draw extreme attention.

@Aquamarine did you work it out?

No worries! I actually decided to try it out myself. I think this would be a good start to learning how to make mods.
