Description;

The Faith Ascension is the first ship (designed by me) using heavy armor. The ship, although half the size of the Kamarov, weighs just as much.

The ship was designed to be one of the more maneuverable ships in the fleet, despite its role being a battleship. It's overall size is smaller than average battleships, but it was designed to be quick, with plenty of armaments to achieve the same goal.

The construction of the ship using heavy armor was meant to only protect the most critical parts of the ship, ie; crew compartments, the bridge, engines and power. The heavy armor was also used as the superstructure of the ship, ie; if you removed all the light armor blocks, you'd be left with the skeleton of the ship. This ensured that, again, the critical parts of the ships were protected, but the ship itself was not over encumbered by the weight.

The 4 large reactors provide ample amount of power to the very capable engines, and are only accessible through the three power conduits in the back of the ship. This ensures the protection of the crew if there was to be a critical failure. The Level 5 deck, the Control Deck, is filled with 116 gyroscopes to provide the Faith Ascension with the very capable ability to literally turn on a dime, maybe a quarter.

The bridge is thoroughly protected and gives enough visuals to the Captain to command the ship with competence. Level 2 is the area through which crew, or anyone else would enter the ship. There is a security checkpoint to ensure entrance to the ship is well guarded.

The ship was designed to travel large distances, thus has a crew quarters capable of holding 32 crew comfortably for any duration of their journey. The two infirmaries on level 3, overseen by two military doctors, are more than capable to handle any medical emergency, whether it's a cold or an attack.

Level 4 of the ship is protected by bulkheads as it is the second most important part of the ship, the Engineering deck and the CIC. In level 4, there are 4 armories, each one containing enough for 4 crew with weapons and armor (16 total). The stations on the outer part of Level 4 are situated for the crew to remotely control the 28 offensive rocket batteries and the 23 defensive gatling gun batteries. Most of the crew is meant for this job. Accuracy and efficiency of the crew is of utmost importance for mission success. The large empty space near the stations is for the purpose of either recreation and to hold personal supplies for the crew. It has not been furnished yet (there are no blocks for tables, chess, and treadmills lol).

In level 4, lies the engineering deck as well. It houses 6 large containers for ammunition, reactor fuel, and other miscellaneous supplies. Connected to them are two assemblers.

Huddled in the crevasses of the ship is a brig capable of containing 8 prisoners.

Things to note; there are no bays for ships or escape pods. The designer found it unnecessary as the crew is most protected from confrontation and the ability of the ship to move so well ensures that when the tides turn on the Faith Ascension, it would be able to live another day.

Most notable feature;

The three most notable aspects of the ship are the offensive capabilities of the ship, the maneuverability, and a prototype armor on the outside of the ship. There are 7 plates protruding the exterior of the ship. They are reactive armor plates. With these protecting the ship, nothing short of a cataclysm would disable the ship, let alone destroy it.

Misc info;

Dunno if you guys have ever seen Stargate, but I got a little bit inspired by Stargate Universe, if you notice, the ship is modeled after the Destiny.

And of course, enjoy my patented cross-sectional pics! :D
