couple of ideas that I might have possibility to participate within my AU schedule

SB:
Last Battlecruiser: As technological development and/or treaty era approached, the traditional Battlecruiser type became to its natural end. Final
exambles presented a mighty and impressive constructions though.

Ultimate dreadnought aka South Dakota challenge: The naval treaties ended the upward spiral of the traditional dreadnought type battleships. What could have been if the naval races would have continued? Desing post 1916, 40kt+ 406mm main armament+ battleship.

Fast minelayer of WWI era, a 28kts + surface minelayer of size of your choosing (with some good minecapacity requirment to impose challenge)

SB scale:

Challenge proposals I like in here:
- Ultimate dreadnought challenge
- Cold War era merchantman challenge
- Superprop challenge

They already did a anti-aircraft Cruiser challenge. But I like the idea of the stealth Guided missile Cruiser challenge myself.

SB:

Command Ship Challenge

Welcome to the Cold War, your navy is in need of a ship capable of combining the task of a radar picket, aircraft directing ship and be capable of at least temporarily acting as the centre of a task force.
  • Timeframe: 1945-2000
  • The ship must not exceed 210 m in length.
  • The ship can either be new-built or a conversion.
  • The ship must be equipped with 2D and 3D radar systems, and must also have communication systems.
  • Weapons are optional, as well as helicopter or other aviation decks.
  • Submarines are permitted, if somehow you can do all this in one.
  • It must have ample command and control abilities.

I'll vote for both of these, only let actual ships be included as well as there are quite a few of both types yet to make their SB debuts.

SB scale:

Single nuclear reactor ship challenge. Anything goes, civilian or military, but can only have 1 reactor. Design must consider weight and balance carefully. (Structure too according to Erik but how do you show this?)

Additionally I'd like to support:

Kat's FD special armour tank (but in sobu lol)
Spacebucket (again)

RipSteakface export tank (but in sobu too lol)
Lightweight Fighter Challenge (FD) must be smaller than F-16 probs?

Miho's superprop

Imperialist's FD pressed into service
SB makeover

Soode's small navy small ship

A fourth-generation main battle tank challenge would be pretty cool, I think (In Fd Scale).

For ex. Kf51, Armata, EMBT, AbramX and so on...

Replace the FRAMcans!
It is 1960 and the future of the Destroyer Arm is in peril. All the war vintage tin cans will fall into block obsolescence soon despite their several upgrades in systems and armament. There is a dire need for new ships but advances in technology mean ships have grown immense, expensive and personnel intensive. The old hulls will not be replaced 1 to 1 with a much larger and more expensive ship, therefore their replacement should be cost conscious. Design a ship to cover some or all of the traditional Destroyer missions that is inexpensive to procure and man. In all instances the ship should do better than 25 knots, but further than that is up to doctrine and requirements.
Design Quality should be judged on affordability as indicated by visible systems.
