Apparently my previous link didn't work so here it is again;
As I said I'm not sure whether I'm going to continue with this design or scrap it in replacement for something MEKO inspired. Not certain yet.
I really wish the part sheets for sensors and radars gave information as to what weapons they are used for/compatible with. All their names are just jargon that I have no idea what they mean and in many cases what years they are from.

The ship's hull look pretty nice! But I am not sure about only installing two SSM onboard and any thoughts on having Point Defense Missile like NSSM and Sea Wolf onboard?

Looks like a big brother to the Free World Frigate proposal from the 70s. Good Start. For electronics, I can help you when I am more awake.

I'm thinking I might move the Exocets to the foredeck or fit angled launchers somewhere to give a total of four missile tubes.
As for point defense I'm thinking of putting something atop the hangar rood though I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking I might keep it using just Dutch or European systems where possible to keep more in the NATO theme.

Here's my design then...
Two variants here, one with hangar and one without. I've gone for a French weapons fit just to be different.
Top views and parts will be updated and corrected at some point. Still very WIP...

both heuhens and clonecommanders fixed in the first post
(I suppose that was why this was posted?)
