Carried on with that page of WF doodles from the previous post. Just thinking in ink really.

Question - is the cargo ship a full plan or has it been a combination of human tech and alien WF drives? Does seem quite aero compared to the very functional proto craft to date?

The front on views are very cool, asks questions about how they operate. Are they 'cutting' through time/space? Or creating their own gravity well fields?

It's all Alien. One of the examples of how tuned in to Human needs the aliens are. Interior fitting out, in many cases, is open to human interpretation. So the cockpits are designed specifically to human proportions and life support needs, but have scope left in the instruction sets for human tech to be added. Similarly with the cargo ship, the WF Drive, outer skin, everything structural is on the alien plans, but how the cargo space is utilised is up to humans.

Currently working on a little technical data sheet about the WF Drives. Much is unknown. The drives emit light, sound, and electromagnetic radiation at a variety of wavelengths. None of which explains how they function. Theory is that they generate a field, which is currently (circa 2090) unknown and unmeasurable to human tech. This field is suspected to interact with the fabric of spacetime in other dimensions, somehow generating grip on this dimension. The field encompasses the entirety of the ship, effectively cloaking it from natural gravity and inertia.

The fiction making up for the gaps in my science Steve. Although, saying that, the whole premise of WFW is that we get to build spaceships without knowing exactly how they work.

The large antenna one roughly center—communications satellite? Relay station?
