Squiships

Here's something I thought up this morning: near-magical spaceships with flexible, deformable membranes as their outer shells. As the note indicates, I'm thinking something along the lines of graphene membranes with embedded networks of high-temperature superconducting loops to change shape and become rigid where needed, forming such handy items as landing feet or airlock tubes.
Materials: Pilot Penmanship EF with Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink, Kaweco Sport EF with Kaweco royal blue ink cartridge, Pentel Pocket Brush pen with J. Herbin Gris Nuage ink, and a touch of Waterman South Sea Blue out of a Lamy Safari EF, on Strathmore 400-series medium-tooth drawing paper.

Man this is great stuff. I imagine some very cool amoeba-like battles when two squiships clash.

Super fun idea, also they'd look like flying lightbulbs. It'd be cool to see two ships "dock" by combining membranes.
