-2 NPC
-Repair bots and tentacles
-9000 blocks
-22000 Volume
-the inside looks like a giant cathedral
-Neat control room
-Orange lights on main Gun

-1 Dual CRAM 1x pure FRAG 1x pure HE
-2 single HE CRAM
-2 4x HeFrag Missiles (75% thrust)
-2 9x Ejected one-turn Frag missiles (70% thrust)
-2 6-barrel 53mm "frag-nailer" Miniguns on the sides
-1 2x1 barrel 120mm adv. cannon
-1 4x "dumb" torpedos (no guidance but big BOOM and fast)

Missile interceptors (6) and 3 flares.
still no paint though.

Wow. Just wow. The screenshots really don't do this justice, it's spectacular.
Just a couple of tiny gripes (which, I'll be honest, I could do myself):
  • Munition warners are on spinblocks with high rotation velocity. With the current devtest, spinning warners get their range reduced, so putting a few warners on the main body (preferably recessed in a little, but still connected to the outside) is preferable.
  • Holy dakka, Batman! The frag-nailer fires fast enough you'd be forgiven for thinking it was looted off an Omega Nightmare! Probably best to tone the fire-rate down a little, although leaving as it is is fine.
  • "Horns" on the dual CRAM turret look a little odd, if I'm being completely honest. I may mess around with the turrets later on anyways though.
  • Since this is an HQ, adding a couple of spares processors is probably a good idea.

Pretty sure the Iron Devotion's fleet colours are somewhere in this thread.
Edit: Found them.

Fleet Main:
R .92 G .93 B .72 I .99
Fleet Secondary:
R .37 G .36 B .39 I .90
Fleet Trim:
R .83 G .68 B .00 I .99
Fleet Detail:
R .34 G .28 B .28 I .95

Since trim is basically gold, use it for windows and spikes, as well as parts of CRAM barrels.
