@:) It's all relative. If you want the Federation to have only
@:) escorts, then I'd make the Liberator a cruiser. If you want the

  Sure but let's not confuse federations here.	I guess it never
occurred to me that the Liberator might be similar in size to the USS
Enterprise.  I always assumed it was smaller and, I guess, that the
B7 Federation ships were smaller still.  Upon further reflection I
find I have no good reason to think this except that the B7 models
were significantly less detailed than even the TOS Enterprise model.

@:) I believe you're right. Was this true for the Feddie ships as
@:) well? Hmm...a game where all ships have only F-mounted
@:) weapons...talk about putting a premium on maneuvering!

  Uh oh!  There's no evidence for that either!	Once again we find
that TV shows are not the best sources for war games - especially when
they're produced by the BBC.
