Rather than using ZeroAdunn's suggested custom shipsize, what if you gave the squids a "Squid Brain" component that functions like a Master Computer? The MC bug with the psychic races is supposedly fixed. I've never encountered a computer virus in the game, so I don't know whether it would affect this squid brain.

why not just give it all the abilities for bridge/crew/lifesupport? i think it would be cool if a race could psychially enslave a space monster. sort of like Dune, but not really. if the tech is on racial traits, you cant analyze it for anything.

if you want it to be immune to psychics and to computer viri, make the brain equal to a few dozen crew quarters. psychic take overs are based on the crew capacity of the ship. you could also build in a self destruct function. sure, if the brain goes then it could be captured (psychic or boarding party). what does that get you? a squid corpse in space? you cant repair any of the components, so it does not do any good aside from a trophy.
