The Delft-Class Bulk Freighter is the antithesis of most other space freighters in service. Most freighters are higher-speed container ships; the Delft is a low-speed bulk cargo container. They were built not long after the first Landser-Class Battleships, leveraging the development of the warship frame for more commercial uses. Unlike the standard Zweireiner-Class Freighter or… Continue reading Sketches – Delft Class Bulk Freighter
First proposed in 10.5 AS, the first orbital elevator ever built in deWulf space remains one of the largest construction projects ever taken up in corporate space. Still under construction almost four years later, the two stations have been completed, and the tether is slowly being spun in preparation for deployment. Even though Falke hasn't… Continue reading Sketches – Falke Orbital Elevator – Himmel Station
As deWulf ships grew larger and larger, it became apparent that they could no longer rely entirely on just docking adapters to remain secured. Once ships passed beyond even a thousand tons of mass, docking adapters were at risk of flexing or breaking just due to minuscule shifts in a ship's position. Changes to make… Continue reading Sketches – Ship Docking Clamps
Having served for over forty years in engine rooms, Chief Engineer Vilpol has seen it all. And don't you forget it. Though he started his career on waterborne craft, the growth of space exploitation carried many skilled engineers from their surface professions into space, and Chief Engineer Vilpol was part of that initial wave. His… Continue reading Character Snapshot: Chief Engineer Vilpol
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
So, I've been missing a few sitreps! I wish I could say that it's all thanks to a mountain of work I've done on Starfire, but sadly it's just been a mountain of work in real life. I got a few little things done, but nothing really substantial. I've gotten in touch with my artists,… Continue reading February 2018 Sitrep
October's come and gone, and it's not exactly been the most productive month I'm afraid. Real life has, as usual seen fit to make itself know and I spent a lot of additional time getting things straightened out at work instead of being at home writing. Since I'm not making the megabucks with my keyboard,… Continue reading October 2018 SitRep
Hello All! Just firing off a current SitRep on things here at Dollarton-Proxima. This month's entry is kind of a broad one, since it's the first and I want to get down where all the various projects are sitting, one way or another. Future entries will only touch on what's actually getting updated. Which means… Continue reading September 2018 SitRep
