    I'd like to start off with a big shout out to the user "Worms" whose winning abandoned station design (Freezing Nova) made it onto the game and inspired me to make the first of many ships based on his aesthetic.

    Lore
    "Venerating the instruments of our salvation" - Angelic Wrought Shipyards

    The "Angels" otherwise known as Artificial Neural Guided Entities of Light were first conceived after major breakthroughs in artificial intelligence were made by humans in outer rim colonies using recovered ancient alien technology. Modeled in appearance as angels from old earth mythology theses sentient intelligence systems boasted highly advance command and control capabilities used for strategic warfare purposes. 24 in all were created during project dubbed "Genesis" with each Angel being capable of simultaneously controlling entire fleets of networked ships and planetary defense systems. However due to their complexity and power requirements Angels could only normally housed on larger ships. Each angel had a powerful ship of unique design built for their AI consciousness to be housed in. As time went on and Man's enemies drew closer and more in number, people began to see these AI more as saviors than mere machines. Some cults even started to form around the various Angels elevating them to the status of deities. This in turn began to affect the AI's programming causing some forget their true nature as machines and to start believing they were gods themselves. After a cataclysmic event in which a large number of humanity in the outer rim was lost, the AI's using their advanced knowledge and capabilities took over the role of rebuilding and guiding humanity thus becoming their savors and eventual rulers. The remnants of humanity, some being the members of the cults, helped usher in their rule and eventually their true nature as AI was forgotten. Today the Angels, known overall as the Angelic Union or AU, maintain various fleets from their orbital ornate "castles" with each protecting their own fiefdom of humanity and in return are maintained and venerated by humans they rule and protect.


    Omega Angel - Light Battleship






    Armament & Systems:

    2 High Yield "HULK" Class missiles
    6 Continuous Fire Heavy Siege Ion Beams
    7 Rapid Fire anti fighter AMC cannons
    54 Top mounted heating seeking cluster missile arrays
    54 Bottom mounted heating seeking cluster missile arrays
    6 Top mounted missile turrets
    3 Bottom mounted missile turrets
    2 Side mounted large caliber rapid fire anti missile AMC turrets
    Jump Drive (with redundant back up system)
    Ionic shielding system (adds 50% efficiency to shields)
    Radar Jammer

    Notes: This is pretty much my first serious attempt at making something in Starmade (learning quite a lot in the process), There is still a lot I want to improve with this build, notably making the weapon systems stronger but I'm not that good with weapons in this game so if anyone would like to help me out with that is would be appreciated. I know I pale in comparison to a lot of builders on here but any criticism will help.

    Theta Angel - Light Battleship
    (http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-theta-angel.2312/)




    Armament & Systems:
    28 Anti-missile rapid fire cannon turrets
    25 Top and Bottom heat-seeker missile arrays
    12 Side Mounted heat-seeker missile arrays
    4 forward facing Dumb Fire missiles
    Rapid fire punch through cannon
    Radar Jammer
    Jump Drive

    Notes: This was my showing for the Starside Blood & Steel Tournament as some of you may have saw. I liked my performance, human error aside, and felt my ship preformed excellently. I re-haul her later to add more creature comforts (aka better jump drives, scanner, ect..)

    Crusader - Battle Cruiser (http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-crusader-battle-cruiser.2349/)



    Description: Smaller than most Angelic battleships, Crusaders tend to strike a balance between weaponry, armor, and acceleration. They are able fill many types of rolls on the battlefield while not being overly adapt at one. Many Crusaders often serve as command ships for smaller fleets when the presence of an Angel Class ship is not needed or is not available. As such they are the highest Class of ship Humans can command themselves within the Angelic Union.

    "Surrender, you stand no chance, this Crusader Class vessel has unparalleled firepower."
    "Those beams look pretty parallel to me"

    -Spartacus of the Crusader "Blinding Light" to Rebel Commander Hazzlin, Captain of the "Laughing Behind Your Back"

    Armament & Systems:
    1 Atonement Class Heavy Ion siege array (Best fired in unfocused mode for maximum effect).
    Forward mounted Quad firing Heavy Ion Cannons
    2 Shield-Buster Ion Missile arrays
    4 Vertical launcher Lock-on Missile arrays (2 top & 2 bottom, each firing 3 missiles for a total of 12) with enhanced explosive yield
    2 Lock-on Ion Missile turrets
    140 Anti-Missile Turrets

    Ionic Shielding (50% bonus)
    Jump Drive
    Jammer
    Scanner

    Zealot - Torpedo Destroyer

    (http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-zealot-torpedo-destroyer.2309/)






    Armament & Systems:
    8 Beam Lock-on Ion Missiles
    Overdrive Effect
    Single Point Siege Laser
    18 turret mounts (currently docked with decorative dummy plugs)

    Notes: I was graciously allowed by NuclearFun to use his Knifehead Torpedoboat (http://starmadedock.net/content/knifehead-torpedoboat.804/) as the basis for the internal structure of the ship. Hes a really excellent builder and I hope to be a fraction of as talented as he is.

    Acolyte - Corvette
    (http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-acolyte-light-corvette.2308/)






    Armament & Systems:
    Quad-linked Rapid Fire Ion Cannon
    2 high yield lock-on explosive missiles
    2 Anti-missile rapid fire cannon turrets
    16 Turret mounts
    Jammer
    Jump Drive
    Scanner

    Notes: My speed build for a light support ship for fleet actions, cheap but deadly in large numbers.

    Protector - Shield Ship






    Armament & Systems:
    Jammer
    Jump Drive
    Deploy-able large scale deflector shield

    Notes: My first attempt at playing around with logic and an idea I had about deploy-able shields . Haven't tested how much damage it can block however.

    Defender - Fighter
    (http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-defender-fighter.2302/)




    Armament & Systems:

    1 Rapid-fire overdrive cannon
    2 Beam Lock-on missiles
    Jammer
    Jump Drive

    Notes: My attempt at a light 1000 block fighter that can pack a punch and take out others of its weight class easily.

    AU Ship Classification

    Deus (Mother-Ship)Only speculated as the Angels seem to reference a supreme being that gives them a divine will, whether this belief is another evolution in their programming or an actual entity that surpasses the rest is a topic of much debate.

    Seraphim (Capital-Ship) They boast unparalleled weaponry and defensive measures, able wipe out entire fleets and burn planets to ashes singlehandedly. Roughly a fourth of the Angels fall into this category. Not much else is known about these ship due to no surviving accounts of this class in combat have been found.

    Ophanim (Carrier) - As with most Angels, the Ophanim class tend to expulse the use of human crews and as such mostly carry large complements of fighter drones and other automated small to medium combat craft.

    Archangel (Dreadnaught) Paragons of ship to ship combat, dreadnaughts often go into engagements without escort ships as they are usually bristling with enough shielding and turrets to target multitudes of enemies at a time. Another reason for the lone nature of these ships is that Angels of this class tend favor the use of obscene amounts of heat seeker arrays that indiscriminately target friend and foes alike. It is for this reason that these Angels tend not to engage in fleet actions with others of their kind unless absolutely necessary. (Unconfirmed, Tau)

    Angel (Battleship) - The smallest Class ship that can permanently handle an Angel's AI consciousness. Many of the Angels whose primary programming was space combat have these class of ships as their chosen form. All ships built to host Angels have 2 common rooms, the Throne room and Angel Core. The Throne room is where an Angel manifests its avatar through the use of holographic emitters embedded in the floor while the Angel's true form is housed in the AI room or otherwise known as the "Angel Core". Formidable even compared to counterparts of different factions theses ships boast equal fire power and defense while favoring long range combat in the form of high impact cannons and large volleys of guided and unguided missiles. (Known Angels Theta; Omega)

    Crusader (Cruiser) - Smaller than battleships, Crusaders tend to strike a balance between weaponry, armor, and acceleration. They are able fill many types of rolls on the battlefield while not being overly adapt at one.

    Zealot (Destroyer) - Sacrificing shields in favor of weapons, these ships are light and armed with quick targeting volleys of missiles and rapid fire weapons.

    Acolyte (Corvette) - Cheap medium sized combat ships, they don't do any particular role all too well however they are cost effective and easily made in large quantities.

    Chaplin (Frigate) - Mostly support ships, moderately defended and delegated to refueling, storage, or mining purposes within fleets.

    Defender (Fighter) - fast and maneuverable combat craft and able to be fitted with a wide variety of weapon load outs. In large numbers Defenders pose a threat to even large ships however unlike their namesake they are lightly shielded and cannot sustain much return fire.

    Cherub (Drone) - These drones are used exclusively by Ophanim class Angels. They are usually used for simple repair and defense of the main ship.

    Unclassified:

    Templars - Large bipedal mechs resembling suits of armor. Reported to be as fast as fighters and some even capable of firing weapons equivalent to battleship class anti-matter cannons.

    Protectors - Seen escorting larger Angels these ships are unarmed and small in size but are capable of projecting massive frontal energy shielding to protect Angels in heavy combat.

    Exorcist - These ships seem to be responsible for reconnaissance, jamming, scanning, and electronic warfare. As such they tend to be more stealthy in design and lightly if at all defended.

    Definitors - Immobile Planetary Defense Platforms

    Confessors - Camouflaged logic operated disintegration mines programmed to detonate within certain proximity to enemy ships

    Nice build, my one criticism is the cluttered small detail, try replacing some of it with larger details that add character to the ship such as armor plates.

    Very nice. Three points:
    Engines could use a bit more depth
    As atraUnam said, the detail is a bit cluttered.
    Also it has an indisticnt overall shape. Try putting long lines on it to break up the blobbiness.

    Thanks for the feedback so far, Ill try to revisit and clean up some of the details of Omega Angel, as for the shape that's pretty much set in stone for now, however you have inspired me to use long line as the basis for my next ship. Ill try to focus on more broad details and longer lines with this build. Thinking the role will be a super cluster missile boat.

    Tau Angel


    took about an hour or so to get this far, which is a lot faster than when I was building Omega. Hopefully this build goes by quick as Ill be using more simplistic details and weapons. Also does anyone have a power cube size/build they recommend? I want to get my 1 million+ power quota out of the way first.

    Using as few groups as possible to extend the reach (to the stars above) of said groups as much as possible.
    basically, run a line from the back to the front, and along that line add more lines that extend to the other faces. The greater the dimensions of the group, the greater the bonus, stick frame is just the easiest to learn.

    A small update, the work on Tau Angel is coming along nicely. Still having trouble figuring out what effective weapon systems/ratios should be (I want to be able to take out stuff with at-least 15 million shield)



    Here is the interior throne room that all ships of Angel Wrought have, yes that is a tree. this interior will be made to look as if you stepped into a garden, complete with artificial sky.

    The second completed ship in the Angel Wrought line and my personal 1 man entry for the Starside Blood and Steel Tournament. I present the Theta Angel. Based on 15th century star fort designs, this was a 2 day speed build that had to weigh less than 12k, there's a lot I couldn't do so expect this to get a re-haul after the tournament.

    Got a lot more done on the Crusader Class Cruiser, the largest planned non-Angel Ship.

    Two things I value most in a ship building are:

    1. Unparalleled fire power

    2. Point Defense

    As always input and criticism are welcome

    Another late night, all in all the Crusader is pretty much done weighing at a little over 16k, all that's left is docking the point defense turrets...all 122 of them. Hopefully I will myself to get through that terribly tedious process in the next day or so, so I can finally upload this thing and get to work other ships.

    Interrior:
    Small by most standards, however there is a Command deck, decontamination room, Med bay, Mess Hall, Captain's quaters, Crew Quarters, waste disposal, and Engineering room.
    ----
    Designer's Notes: This took me a while to finish and was partially completed when the new update hit that doubled shields, so it has a bit more shielding than ships of it class tend to have. I'm a bit unsatisfied with the main beam array so if anyone has any improvements I'd be glad to implement them. Other than that please rate and enjoy.

    http://starmadedock.net/content/angelic-wrought-crusader-battle-cruiser.2349/ - *pending Approval*

    These beams look pretty parallel to me

    On a more serious note, I think the engines could use more depth. Other than that, I like it very much!
    Oh and I took your advice and added some depth to the engines, not much but it made a bit of a difference and I used your line in a flavor text as seen above ;).

    Wow, I am humbled and flattered :)

    The ship looks really awesome. I like your style!

    The Holy Angelic Union has decided to form an alliance with the Cobalt Royalty. As such I present a nearly completed ETA Angel built on EE. Shes a Heavy Battleship weighing at roughly 150k, no external turrets currently to avoid unnecessary repair work as shes meant to be a front line ship. Her main armaments consist of 24 vertical launch ion missiles and a quad output heavy ion laser. The main throne room is also designed to act as conference hall for faction negotiations and treaties.

    Some of the surfaces are a little too flat IMO.
