Tricky, as the writers didn't give a damn about consitency or science
and the FX had next to zero budget.
Liberator: Big. Fast, B7 especially the early seasons didn't really
distinguish between FTL and sub-light drives so it's hard to judge
whether the Liberator should have high thrust or not. Force fields of
some type - maybe FT standard Screens, maybe something borrowed from
one of the Trek adaptations. Neutron Blaster - big (B3 or B4) forward
firing beams. Cargo holds. Superior Sensors (especially if Orac's on
board).
Pursuit Ships: Small. Fast. Forward firing plasma bolt weaponry (FT
pulse torp or small Phalon plasma bolt?).
Do you have the B7 Tech Manual produced by the Blake's 7 Appreciation
Society? http://www.horizon.org.uk/
I'll have a look through mine tonight and see if I can come up with
some stats.
> Also does anyone know of a source of miniatures ?
The old Corgi die-cast Liberators must be worth a fortune by now.
Mine got rather battered and, um, chewed. :-(
