Cleburne Class FFG

This is an original design I've been working on for a couple months. She's designed with elements inspired by the MEKO 200 frigate and Freedom-class LCS. In keeping with my theme for original designs, I named her after General Patrick Cleburne.

Of all my builds thus far, she is the most complete, boasting a full interior. Everything from the bridge and combat suite to a galley and mess decks, this FFG has it all! I've even included crew berthings and officer staterooms.

There are plenty of empty office spaces on the 01 deck and the 02 deck under the bridge is empty for now, as I have yet to decide if I should use that space for a wardroom or leave it open for AI and the like. There is a void under the fantail that would also be a good spot for AI (or a backup for redundancy).

Her helicopter hangar doors and boat bay doors open via a spin block controllers located at control points in each space. I haven't designed anything that flies, so if someone wants to have a go at making a drone helicopter small enough to fit one in each hangar, let me know. I have an 11-meter RHIB design that can be used as this FFG's small boats, but if you have something of your own that fits in the boat by, that works too. You can see the action during flight or boat operations via one of the several remote cameras, regardless of where you're commanding the ship from. There's also a camera tucked into the main gun mount.

To keep up her speed, there's a "cheat bay" full of screws, but if an update comes out with customizeable propulsion systems, I'll certainly pull out her engineering plant and give her a refit to better reflect having actual engineering spaces.

Something I wish I could use are 2x1 stairs for steeper ladderwells (as well as vertical ladders and 1x1 scuttle hatches). Right now her design prevents me from adding stairs between decks, so you have to use roundabout routes if you want to walk without warping to chairs.
