Found it (the mod )!
Thank you very much Deathstalker.
But I think I wait with a new game till the next patch with hopefully the correction of the fighter bug.

I thought any game thats talking about 'space navies' would automatically have squids in space.

I've just run afoul of a squid task force with my lowly scout frigate, and I'm in over my head! (har.)

Gotta say that I've never giggled so much while being torn apart. Thanks for the great ship set, Deathstalker.

Thanks guys, but all of the shipset graphic/original concept credit must go to Damian Lescano. I just answered the 'ad' at Universal Shipyards for creating an AI to go with the Shipset. Email's went awry and unfortunately this shipset was posted/completed without Damian's direct knowledge. Luckily he and his brother are a forgiving/understandable sort and we can all enjoy this incredible shipset.(Thats what I love about this game, the maturity of the people that play it, try and find this kind of maturity while playing Blizzards Diablo, it just ain't there )

(and yes, the Cephalopeia have been kicking my but too for about 20 turns in my current game, my fighters are just about useless against the organic armor/pdc they use ).

No Deathstalker, we are the ones that must thank you for helping us complete shis race style.

Take a look at Last revision I just posted in my site.

Just a minor proposal Deathstalker: Would it be possible to have a design name file with more squid associated names? I think in a zoological textbook there should be quite a number of squid species names e.g. The one you have now has names that you do not associate with squids or even marine animals.

Thank you Andres, this has truely made my day.

Q, I know that most of the names don't have much to do with 'squids' in general. I lost that thought track after Calamari, Kraken, and thats probally it. The one thing I have against SeIV is their design name files. Most of the names are so similar I have to backtrack and double check to see what ships I am facing. I figured, hey, their a warrior/enslaving race so these are some names they would name their 'steeds'. And hopefully they stand out and are remembered instead of being confused with 4 different ship types.(this was also a problem with the se4 original system names, didn't know where I was half the time ). But if you want more 'squid type' names, you are welcome to find some and post them for those who prefer it.(I'd probally mis-spell most of them anyway )
