Home of the deWulf universe
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)
So a while back I posted a sketch showing the deWulf ranks. But when I did, I realized that there aren't any posts or images that showed what the deWulf uniforms looked like...
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
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
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
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
There are multiple models of container transporters in deWulf space. Most of them are larger models seen at more established ports, capable of quickly and securely docking onto containers before hauling them either across the port or in and out of orbit. But these transporters are expensive, maintenance intensive, and most critically bulky. UAC's G-Schiff… Continue reading Sketches – Container Lighter
One of the things that's been sitting on my back burner has been the thought "What does the deWulf home world look like?" Not like "what do the buildings look like" kind of way, but rather what do the landmasses look like? Where are the continents? Where are the major polities located? This map is… Continue reading Sketches – Fenris Rough Draft
What's happened so far January (and February) were both pretty much washes for getting things done. January itself was dealing with the Omicron COVID wave (which sucked up time and sanity), and then just as February was shaking itself down to be normal, my employer got hit with a cyberattack that dropped pretty much all… Continue reading February 2022 Sitrep
Another grab bag of random sketches today. This is what you get when you have a few ideas to play with but don't want to waste multiple pages for each one. The first two sketches are the ones in the upper left and bottom right. Both are more experiments with the shape template tool I… Continue reading Sketches – Random Technology 5
