A few sketches I can conclusively point "this is where this idea came from!" This is one of them. At least, I'm pretty sure I remember where this was from.

A shipyard is not a single structure, but instead a whole collection of major industrial structures that converts raw materials and feedstocks into warships.

The aftermath of the Binary War showed the importance of yard capacity to the deWulf Corporate Navy. New units needed yard capacity. Repairs needed yard capacity. Critically, disposable ordinance like drones require yard capacity to produce. In wartime, there was only one truism about yard capacity: more was needed. Unfortunately for the Navy, the peace… Continue reading Sketches – Mittellspannung Yards 2
Sketches – Mittellspannung Yards
The Mittellspannung Yards are the heart of the deWulf Corporate Navy. Originally designed by deWulf Heavy Industries (dWHI), it was turned over to the Corporate Navy in 1.0 AS once dWHI had gotten their initial investment paid out by the government. Over the years since, the yard has evolved into the Corporate Navy's primary logistics… Continue reading Sketches – Mittellspannung Yards

Shipyard work is hard work, and in space it's not any easier. While plenty of work is done by shipyard cranes and fixed hardware, they by definition cannot reach everywhere, or are available in enough numbers. And crucially, there just aren't enough of them in the right places to do what needs to be done.… Continue reading Sketches – Sintillan Construction Pods
Sketches – Frontier Shipyard
As deWulf space expanded, it became clear that orbital industry had outgrown the Mittelspannung yards in orbit of Fenris. While they were expanding regularly, they were primarily a military installation, and so commercial work was often sidelined in order to make space for contracts issued by the deWulf Corporate Navy. What followed from this was… Continue reading Sketches – Frontier Shipyard
Sketches – Y-12 Yards
Every government has a few out of the way installations that do the quiet, secret work that is best done out of view. Evaluating captured equipment, building and testing prototypes, supporting black operations. For the deWulf, this is the Y-12 yards. Officially known as SchultzFlach Station, it was originally built as part of a corporate… Continue reading Sketches – Y-12 Yards

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 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 – Sintilla Shipyard Details
As part of Scenario Book 1, I wanted to have some internal art in among the various scenarios. One part of it was the shipyard that the Sintillans were using to build more ships, and I didn't want it to be a completely undetailed set of shapes. One problem I do have when it comes… Continue reading Sketches – Sintilla Shipyard Details
