Issue With Madtulips' Spaceship Mod and Vulpes Race
So I've been doing a new playthrough of Starbound using this mod and the Spaceship Mod by Madtulip (the one which allows you to build your own spaceship out of blocks, instead of it being an unchangable craft).

I initially had a few issues with my character dying immediately when I spawned on my ship, but after some experimentation I managed to fix that by installing the additional mod which fixed the older Vulpes version:

After installing that, I was able to play through the game all the way to after the Erchius Mining facillity and repairing my ship.

However on teleporting back to my ship after the repair, I have found a problem. The ship from this mod has also appeared on the ship screen, overlayed behind the Madtulip starter ship, and both ships have collision to them. So currently I'm stuck in the teleport room of my starter ship, blocked from moving by a wall I cannot see - a wall of the vanilla starter ship behind. Both ship models are on the screen together. Restarting the game has not fixed the issue.

Any assistance would be appreciated, thank you^^

EDIT: Took a screenshot to show the issue more clearly:

The red ship in front is the one from the Spaceship mod, the blue one behind is the default for the Vulpes race which appeared after the Erchius mission. They both have collision, so my character cannot walk to the right even though there is space to do so, because of collision with a wall in the blue ship, which is hidden behind the red ship's hull.

Update: Found a workaround to this issue if anyone else is having the problem too, may allow you to play until it is properly fixed. Solution is thanks to user 'bk3000' on the comments section for the Spaceship mod.

1. Take everything off your ship and store it on a planet. This includes furnature, decorations, and items in your locker. ANYTHING LEFT ON THE SHIP WILL BE LOST. Save the game while on the planet, and close Starbound.

2. Go to Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\storage\player and order the files in that folder to have the most recently updated file at the top. Look down the list until you see a SHIPWORLD file. The name of the file will be a random string of letters and numbers. Edit the name of that file to add the word BACKUP at the start of it.

3. Start a new save with a VANILLA CHARACTER, and play through that save until you reach the same point in the story (after the Erchius mines, when your ship has been repaired). Once you get there, save and quit.

4. Go back to the folder mentioned in #2. You should now see another SHIPWORLD file above the one which you edited earlier. Copy the filename of the file which you edited earlier - JUST the letters and numbers NOT the word BACKUP - then edit the filename of the NEW SHIPWORLD file and paste the letters and numbers in, deleting the ones which were already there.

5. Start up your game and enter your Vulpes save, your character should have the ship from the vanilla save instead of the glitched one. You can now delete the vanilla character and move your items back onto the ship.

BE AWARE - I'm not sure if upgrading your ship to a larger model will cause the bug to reoccur, so make sure to back up your save before doing the upgrade. But hopefully using this technique you should at least be able to play until it is fixed.
