This mod crashes every time i try to place the ship. from what i can tell, it doesn't play nice with AAI's programmable vehicles trying to add it as a controllable vehicle.

I haven't tried it with AAI. I suspect the original creator didn't intend for it to function in this way.

It should work normally when placed without mods that try to integrate it, as far as I can tell.

So far works great for me. It would be nice if more different styles of ships with grids came along in future updates.
