Liberator

Overview

A technologically advanced alien spacecraft appearing in Blake's 7 (UK television 1978-81).

Escapees from the totalitarian "Federation" board it and find it to be superior to Federation space craft in speed and weaponry - and it also has the ability to teleport them down to a planet surface. The ship's computer "Zen" tells the escapees that its ship is called "Liberator".

Note: The wiki should only contain tested work. The stuff on Sabre's site is mostly alpha work. Although the models are nice, the code was full of bugs. e.g. the dredgers version there needed some work to get a correct working version. Also the Liberator.oxp had several bugs. In the version added in RS, these bugs were fixed.
