It's amazing what you can get done when you're stuck in a meeting! This sketch actually is skipping a bit of the queue; I did this one in the fall while on a long conference call, and I wanted to get it out sooner than later, so here it is. One note, technically I made… Continue reading Sketches – Fenris Local Space

Sketches – deWulf light cruiser concepts
I'll be honest, it took me a while to find a light cruiser hull that I was happy with for the deWulf. Heavy cruisers were easy enough, they basically had bulked up destroyer lines. Even larger hulls had the Elder God concept to build on (as shaky as it was), but the light cruiser always… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf light cruiser concepts
Sketches – deWulf Hauptmann Class Destroyer
Another one of the initial design sketches for deWulf ships, this one helped work out a lot of the more specific concepts on both the deWulf open jaw nose. It also spent a bit more time looking at the nose in a few different ways to apply some detail work like where the hull number… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Hauptmann Class Destroyer
Sketches – deWulf Director Class Cruiser
A later sketch of mine, this one expanded a lot on the concepts that earlier hulls like the Slingshot and Elder God did. The main additions to the basic hullform are the larger wings on either side of a much-enlarged main hull. She also maintains the same hull superstructure as smaller designs. This was still… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Director Class Cruiser
Sketches – deWulf Zweireiner Class Freighter
The genesis for pretty much all of the freighter designs I've done, the deWulf Zwei is the standard freighter design used by the deWulf since they reached spaceflight. There isn't a lot to really say about this design concept overall. She dispenses with the open jaw design that is inherent with most deWulf ships (pretty… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Zweireiner Class Freighter
Sketches – deWulf Mobile Heavy Shipyard
This design comes from expanding the idea of the Weaver-class SYM. It also lifts a couple of other design elements that exists from larger ships as well, namely the forward shuttle bay and larger quad engine mount. Unlike the Weaver, which has a single forward facing extendable gantry, this mobile heavy yard has a series… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Mobile Heavy Shipyard
Sketches – Krak Freighter
Since I'd designed out most of the freighters for the other major powers, I thought that it would be worth building out what the Krak would use as well. The design concept here is both building off of what the Krak prefer to have (IE modular systems), but also making it clear that it's not… Continue reading Sketches – Krak Freighter
