DIY Windows - Glass Not Included (Vanilla Ships)

Fantastic new technology replaces the ugly, repetitive pipe maze background of your ship with a completely invisible* forcefield that lets in all of the wonderful view of space but none of that pesky light**.

This also removes the background for most of the doorways and the little bit of framing that the base windows have, so your ship might look a wee bit odd until you fill in the gaps.


This is an image-only mod for the vanilla ship backgrounds. It is completely client-based, the worst that could ever happen is that someone thinks you're crazy for installing windows to nowhere on your ship.


* Creating a visible, removable forcefield would be a lot more complex and less interoperable.
** I have no idea if it's possible to make the open background in a shipworld collect light like on a planet, but I'm not modifying the parts of the files that would do that (yet?).

Hey, turns out that @Springtrap else was annoyed by the same thing as me and overall beat me to making a mod for the problem which he's now brought over to the workshop! His implementation, Backgroundless Ships, leaves in the 2x5/5x2 tile background 'gutter' areas for the doors and hatches, so if you like those, you'll want his version. The difference should be obvious in this image, his is on the bottom: https://wvr.blue/i/2016/10/25/tvOh.png
