Home of the deWulf universe
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
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
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
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
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
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
