Last week I was commenting on a sketch about how I hadn't really worked out the interiors on most of the ships. One part that (until this sketch) hadn't gotten worked out was "what do the engines look like?" After all, one of the critical parts of a ship's engine rooms is, well, the engines.… Continue reading Sketches – Engine Room

Sketches – Internal Layout
Another doodle, this one was a bit of better detail work for one of the scenes that takes place in Scenario Book 1. The image was of one of the deWulf ships being repaired by a mobile shipyard, and part of the damage was a large hole blown in the side of the deWulf warship.… Continue reading Sketches – Internal Layout
Sketches – Military Container
One of the powerful things about having ships with modular cargo systems is that you get the temptation to start seeing what else you can pack onto the cargo racks. After all, if it can carry cargo, surely it can carry other things in a ready-to-use format. Or, if you have even more containers together… Continue reading Sketches – Military Container

Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (1)
As I had mentioned back at the 2022 goals, one thing I was looking at doing was writing up some discussions on how and why various navies are structured the way that they are. In this, I'm stealing guidance from the always-enjoyable website Project Rho. Specifically the part about building a navy. The majority of… Continue reading Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (1)

Sketches – Provider Forward Bay
While I've done a lot of doodles and work on the smaller Zweireiner-class freighter, it's not the only freighter that sees service in the deWulf Corporate Democracy. As larger hulls became not just possible but economical, new cargo ships entered service to take advantage of economies of scale. One of the most common is the… Continue reading Sketches – Provider Forward Bay
March 2022 Sitrep
What's happened so far March was definitely a getting back on track month. Both in starfire and out. Work has been bringing everything back online (I feel for our IS team), and with Covid not quite in remission, but not quite on the resurgence (where I live at least), things are in an interesting kind… Continue reading March 2022 Sitrep
Sketches – Liquid Pallet
This sketch really is almost superfluous, but I've included it in here mainly for completeness sake. If you do a lot of freight work, you might have noticed that there isn't too much call for drums of chemicals anymore. Oh, they're still around true, but there's been a slow but steady retreat from their usage,… Continue reading Sketches – Liquid Pallet
Sketches – Container Doors
When one looks at a container (a normal sized one, not one of the bigger ones in the deWulf setting), one of the most complex parts of a container is the doors. No surprise, as they have to be water tight (reasonably), have effective latching mechanisms, and can be locked with any number of tools.… Continue reading Sketches – Container Doors
