Hi All, I just need opinions on two questions on relatively unrelated
subjects:

What would people rate the Liberator from Blake's 7 as?

(I'd always thought a heavy cruiser Kra'vak ship with double armour
rationalised as shields, 6 thrust, railguns ratinalised as beams and PDAFs
instead of scatterguns was reasonably close to the mark)

With the proposed fighters and a thrust of 12, would fighters start at O speed
or speed equal to that of the carrier that released them?

Regards,

Not sure. But it's CRITICAL to make sure that the engines wobble while
moving. :-)

have the specs from the show?

Surely you're thinking of the CREW of the liberator?

Anyway, the Liberator got eaten by a really bad case of Athlete's foot. I
wouldn't worry about simulating it.

For increased faithfulness to the source, the Earth ships should be
identical cardboard cut-outs, and should always appear in threes, glued
to a piece of transparent plastic!

Further realism in recreating B7: any character who isn't a regular cast
member must be brutally killed for no apparent reason at the end of every
episode; the skull prostheses of Earths fiendish Mutoid soldiers must be
poorly glued to the actors' heads, so that they start to come unstuck in
moments of stress. Oh yes, injuries can be diagnosed and treated by passing an
unmodified thermos flask over the affected area.

Ah, those happy teenage days of perving over Servalan...

Sadly, but nostalgically,
