[TSY] Bellerophon-Class Assault Frigate [Vanilla]

The Bellerophon-class assault frigate is Tyrian Shipyards' flagship combat craft, a hydrogen-powered, heavily armed frigate featuring a robust weapons platform, large forward hangar, and accomodations for up to four. The Bellerophon is intended to comprise the advance wing of a combat fleet, using its dual jump drives and 360-degree armaments to jump in and out of strike situations while sustaining minimal damage to its sturdy frame. Its living quarters are optimized for a crew of 2, but can support up to four occupants for medium-length deployments. The Bellerophon's ample engineering space and large hangar also make it a popular candidate for refit as an atmospheric cargo hauler [Author's note: coming soon!]. While not fully self sufficient, the Bellerophon can operate independent of staging or support craft for long enough to get the job done and is robust enough to handle any complications along the way.

This is my first workshop-ready creation and I hope to make more to come, so I'd love some design and usability feedback! I had a lot of fun making this ship and its systems are the result of a lot of timer blocks and reworking as well as the hard work of script-writers in the community. As a note, the hangar is meant to be a fairly accident-proof airlock that doesn't lose air unless you want it to, so let me know of any problems!
