Leugi or Sukritact are the only two I can think of who do ships...
I did do a couple of ships for my Future Worlds mod, although I think the surface ship I converted still has some flaws as I think the mesh gets deformed by the skeleton. The submarine converted pretty well, though -- probably because it's a fairly simple shape with few actual animations.
I'm not sure how hard the older ships would be to rig...

Very nice texture work you did. And, for future reference, you need to edit the gr2s and fxsxml if you rename texture files. It's also a good idea to edit the gr2 for any gr2s made before Nexus Buddy 2 came out in my experience.
Assuming you still need it of course.
Also I'll still need the Opalchentsi* icon in case I find a good base model to reskin.
Knaegt has been a breath of relief, however: thank you sir.
