The Yuell is a large balloon-type airship designed from the ground-up with aesthetics first and gameplay second. The entire craft has a modeled interior with walkways, airlocking doors, a bridge and a "backup bridge", various decorations, and most frustratingly a well-rounded balloon shape crafted with 8+ hours of painstaking Mimic work. The inside of the balloon has been covered in vanilla blocks to fill any gaps in the mimics as well as add additional armor.
It's been modified heavily from the first version I put on the workshop, it now has four Fauster hangars which deploy the planes both more dynamically and safer. I don't know where the other 500k resources went, tbh, but even so its current amount is outstanding. I now classify the Yuell as a carrier since it has more than two planes and they deploy efficiently and safely //MOST// of the time.

Features:
Helium floatation! The balloon's enormous cavities actually give the Yuell complete floatation entirely on their own, without any need of the props or thrusters affixed to the craft.
Guns! Lots of them! While I did start this vessel with the aesthetics in mind, of course I also wanted to make it blow up everything this side of the ocean. It has 5 main cannons and a lot of Simple Weapon secondaries, equaling a surprising amount of firepower.
Huge storage! This thing holds just over 500k resources, which is more than required to repair itself fully, but it can totally be used as a long distance self-defending transport vessel. Only issue is it eats up some (a lot) of those resources refining fuel to supplement its enormous fuel storage.
Hull art! The balloon has been painted all around with various designs made possible by the absurd number of Mimics in place, and the entire exterior was colored with Fleet Colors, so it can be whatever colors you want without much hassle. I included my personal colors for the ship (Gallian-themed) later on in the description.
Carrier! It holds two planes in its side hangars that actually sit within the ship and deploy out the back of it in combat. The hangars have been moderately decorated and they look pretty cool.
Viewing deck! I was originally trying to model the Prydwen when I started this vessel, as anyone who's played Fallout could probably notice. I literally started the ship with the nose deck because that's where I intended to spend the most of my time on the ship myself, and it has a lot of Mimic work put into it to make it more presentable than FTD's normal capabilities.

Armament includes 16 130mm Casemate guns, 16 94mm anti-air guns, two quad 40mm Mk-Is, two twin 40mm Mk-Hs, two single 300mm 21.7RPM rifles, two double 150mm 133.8RPM rifles, and one single 400mm 33.5RPM rifle. All customizable Simple Weapons utilize customized shells including some degree of variation.
Four "Fauster" planes; just modified Dusters with bigger rockets and adjusted AI. These are held in side hangars with a vehicle spawner and docking clamp, utilizing ACBs to release in combat.
Navigation lights based on real maritime standards.
Includes an on-ship refinery to supplement fuel supply.

Max roll is ~75 degrees, it's incapable of flipping itself unless you get really crafty.
The AI is fully configured and the PIDs set for smooth flight in auto. Pitches up when at full thrust in manual control, this can be fixed with a general PID, but I didn't include that. (Holding pitch down while in full manual thrust levels the vessel pretty well.)

Fully modeled interior which was the primary focus of the design before gameplay, giving an aesthetic design you can walk around and see everything working.
Upwards of 3 hours of in-play flight time when stocked with materials.
This thing holds its own against a fleet of: 1 Moray, 1 Pilferer, 2 Scrapworks, 2 Scrappers, and 2 Sea Vipers.
