I never did get around to making crystalline/organic hulls but they are easy to modd. (just time consuming).

 Actually, I have your mod (for v1.49) installed in my second SE4 directory (the one I'm using for trying out new mods; the other stays "pristine" -just- in case 8), and I -like- some of the ideas I saw in there the time I ran through it (the use of "weapon mount" enhancements to allow for miniaturised or hardened components, and so on). 
 
I especially loved miniaturised organic armor, hehehe.  Starbases with 60x (min)Organic Armor ... 1800hp per round regenerated; who needs shields with that?        But I'm not sure the use of Gatling mounts, the damage level is positively puny ... plus with 200-ish of them a single ship takes forever to finish firing at it's target, lol. 
 
I won't actually start coding the mod for a while yet; got to get room in the budget for buying SE4 Gold first (using a borrowed copy of 1.49 atm), so I can make sure it's compatible, etc, etc.
