While the Zweireiner-Class freighter is the most common, and indeed the classic freighter in deWulf space, smaller designs do exist. A variety of designs and hullforms exist. Some are cut down Zweireiners, whereas others are completely new and different designs. One of those more common designs is the rough-field capable FT1 built by deWulf Heavy… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Light Freighter

Sketches – Civilian Orbital Station
Civilian orbital infrastructure is common in deWulf space, and this orbital station is one of the more common designs seen. A smaller multipurpose station, it offers both passenger and cargo management capabilities as well as a larger domed concourse area. Six arms branch out from the upper level, providing enhanced docking space for ships as… Continue reading Sketches – Civilian Orbital Station
2021 Goals
So earlier this month I took a look at what I have and have not accomplished in 2020, and made some oblique hints at both what remained and what new tasks needed to be done. All things considered in 2020 I made a lot of concrete progress. Having these defined goals AND checking up on… Continue reading 2021 Goals
Sketches – Falke Orbital Elevator – Himmel Station
First proposed in 10.5 AS, the first orbital elevator ever built in deWulf space remains one of the largest construction projects ever taken up in corporate space. Still under construction almost four years later, the two stations have been completed, and the tether is slowly being spun in preparation for deployment. Even though Falke hasn't… Continue reading Sketches – Falke Orbital Elevator – Himmel Station
Sketches – Can Station
Once a colony starts getting developed, there starts being a demand for orbital infrastructure. A communications satellite, weather tracking, orbital security and traffic management. Instead of deploying multiple pieces of infrastructure to do all of this, most smaller colonies go with a single all-in-one station that provides all of these services, as well as some… Continue reading Sketches – Can Station
December 2020 Year-End Sitrep
2020 has been nothing if not eventful. COVID-19's knocked absolutely everything for a loop. Working from home, massive shifts in freight logistics and scheduling, big changes to safety operations, and of course the whole mess with social distancing. On one hand it was a tough set of transitions, but I won't lie: it offered quite… Continue reading December 2020 Year-End Sitrep
Sketches – Frontier Shipyard
As deWulf space expanded, it became clear that orbital industry had outgrown the Mittelspannung yards in orbit of Fenris. While they were expanding regularly, they were primarily a military installation, and so commercial work was often sidelined in order to make space for contracts issued by the deWulf Corporate Navy. What followed from this was… Continue reading Sketches – Frontier Shipyard
