Home of the deWulf universe
Continuing the series on Building a Navy, the Fleet Missions are the first concrete steps towards building a fleet. With the basic environment and goals laid down, a realistic (or at least plausible) series of operational requirements and operational postures begins to take shape. The Chart The conjunction of Assumptions and Goals thusly details what… Continue reading Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (3)
I'm yet to give up drawing living things (probably for the best! Keep trying!) and this is another attempt of mine. The "Pseudopine" is one of several major families of trees on Fenris, and one that has followed in the wake as the Fenren have colonized different new worlds. While not the hardiest tree ever,… Continue reading Sketches – Pseudopine
One of those fun little experimental doodles to try out an idea. I was wondering what you could make that would be like the classic pump jack, but different. Of course, coming up with something that works, but is different is a bit of a challenge. After all, a pump jack is one of those… Continue reading Sketches – Ibizan Oil Pump
"It's one thing for us to go and make these pronouncements, but it's another thing to actually have to organize this.. this…" "This mishmash of corporate sponsorship and panic construction?"
As part of the design work that has been put into the Augen Mk1's deckplans, I did a bit of a look at the hangar for her single small craft. As with many smaller ships, working compartments often have to do double duty. Especially when they take up a fair amount of internal volume AND… Continue reading Sketches – Small Shuttle Hangar
Continuing the series on Building a Navy, the next stage is to look at the Strategic Goals that the Navy is being tasked with. While not entirely dependent on the previous Strategic Assumptions, they are informed by them, and together they begin to form the foundation of what the deWulf Navy is built on. The… Continue reading Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (2)
What's happened so far So, some of you might remember a promise for me to do these sitreps at the beginning of the month instead of midway through... well, I'm doing that. Kind of. Obviously, nothing was written up at the end of April, but I don't feel THAT bad about it. I got a… Continue reading April & May 2022 Sitrep
As spaceships grew larger, so did defensive space stations in turn. The current (as of 11.0 AS) state of the art is the massive Base Station 4 hull, massing as much as a dreadnought in raw size. Unlike a dreadnought though, a station does not need to devote a large fraction of its internal space… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Defense Station BS4
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
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
