Today we are going to take a look at some of the Blake 7 ships in Star Trek Bridge Commander.
Bridge Commander currently has 3 Blake 7 ships and I thought we would take a look at them.
We will put the Liberator against the Borg, The Enterprise B, The Ori from Stargate SG1 and finally some Pursuit ships from Blake 7.
Season 1 of Blake 7 is due to be released on Blu-ray in November.
Thanks for watching!

I loved space 1999 as a kid, especially the monster in the graveyard of ships (Dragon's Domain).
The two parter with the slime aliens that could control minds was scary AF when I was a kid.
@@SupremeCleave Yes! The Bringers of Wonder. Had me looking over my shoulder for months. And you said it: I watched the episodes in my youth as well. Much harder impact.
Blake’s 7, low budget, great acting and good writing…..and those last two matter the most
Cant disagree there, great show
In Blake's 7, the Liberator was by far the fastest ship known to exist. It's weapons could largely one shot a starbase, but they used an insane amount of power. The Neutron blasters would have a few shots, then the ship was largely dead in the water (Space water?) while it recharged it's batteries.
Even without shields, it could take a serious pounding. Armor was made out of neutron star stuff. I always wondered how they were able to keep the degenerate matter from crushing everyone on the ship to a layer of stuff one atom thick.
Fun fact: The auto repair systems were more than a bit aggressive. If they ship took a serious beating, the crew needed to abandon ship for a time or the repair systems would eat them.
Damn the Brits know how to write mad sci-fi. I remember seeing B-7 as reruns as a child. It was a bit before my time. Iconic Shakespearean last episode.
@s.patrickmarino7289 That's hilarious about the Auto Repair systems, I really need to watch this show. I've seen the occasional episode and was really impressed. 🖖
@@RetroBadgerGaming, Just one word of warning, don't judge the series by the first few episodes. They did not have the sets built and it did not look to me as if they were quite ready. I got the impression from the start that the BBC was trying to kill off the series. They had a hard time doing so because, the fans loved it.
i hate how the Liberator was destroyed almost as much as the way they died at the end
The writing in Blake's 7 was great, the acting mostly good, sometimes great, the visual effects were iffy, but the effects have been completely re-done, for the new blue ray set with practical model effects.
It was all about the characters. It was one of the cheapest shows out there yet still has a fan following which shows it had something.
I love it when you make a video about the blake's 7 ships
The liberators's weapons were called neutron blasters, I think the Galactic Federation's weapons were called plasma bolts.
I always enjoyed Blake’s 7 but it always feels like the ship flies backwards. 😂
Liberator is an absolutely beautiful ship. I always thought that Star Trek should’ve cast Jacquelin Pearce as the Federation President. It would’ve given an interesting slant on seeing the Star Trek federation from a potentially different perspective. It can’t possibly be *that* saccharine and nice as we’re constantly shown.
Hello Retro.
This was awesome! I know I mentioned before that The Liberator is among my favorite sci-fi vessels and while I have actually run this very same set of battles you just did, I will never get tired of seeing this.
It is long overdue for the series to come to Blu-ray. For its run it was definitely a good show. It was among the early ones that did not have the usual good guy/ bad guy trope since the good guys for technically bad guys themselves who are out to do what was morally right in a corrupt Galaxy.
I will admit that at the time I really watched the show just for The Liberator. Since this was the time before conventions start to have tech manuals for TV series, mainly Star Trek, I spend a lot of time speculating on what The Liberator could do based on what dialogue occurred for her systems. And when she was finally destroyed that was it for me and the series.
I'll have to check online for the link but someone did take the time to actually give us a scale size of the Liberator. Apparently she's roughly about the same size as the original series Enterprise.
You have to love her armaments. Those neutron cannons are so powerful that they need their own shields just to fire them and not fry the ship. One is enough to cause massive damage as you have seen. All three on one target well that's game over. Not to leave out her missile compliment which can be switched to barrage mode to overwhelm any enemy.
The Liberator does have one weakness that was exploited in the show and is in the mod. She is a bit of a gas guzzler. While she is self-sustaining you drain her energy and she has to run to recharge.
The Federation pursuit ships in the mod are fairly accurate from the series. I'm not sure what beam weapon they used. But they're main weapon high powered plasma bolts and they did travel in Klingon style packs of three.
I think is that in the series, Avon, while discussing his options of going alone, did say that The Liberator could only deal with three pursuit ships. I put that to the test to see exactly if that was right. I'll do it again but I believe the number that finally gave me trouble was around the twenties!
Anyway before it gets any longer at some point you should have a Systems Fleet featuring The Liberator and the System’s Cruisers versus “fill in the blank” and see what happens.
Before ILM, before Skywalker Sound, there was the BBC radiophonic workshop 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
4:14 "That gives you an oops!"
4:43 Oops! You did it again! 😉
Blake’s 7 had the best ending of a Si-fi show, with all the crew supposedly dead, but Avon standing in the middle of a load of federation solders pointing guns after he kills Blake, while he laughs. Then it goes black and the guns fire. But were they all dead ?
I loved B7 and it is awesome in billions of ways
That was awesome. Consistently some of the best, most entertaining stuff on the web
@locker1325 Thanks! That's really nice of you to say 🖖
looked great....but There is no auto repair on the Liberator in the game where as on the show , the liberator had the ability to repair itself with even catastrophic battle damage ( season 3 episode 1)
It was a great series. Deserves a game all of its own.
In B7 i had the impression the plasma bolt from the pursuit ship was a physically bigger sized warhead and slow to power up, much as a Romulan plasma torp. The system ships were from the same race that built the liberator, faster but not as powerful, as encountered by The B7 crew early on. I think the liberator was built as a long range exploration vessel.
orac would not approve of that damaging the weapons would leave the liberator defenceless.
LOVE Blake's 7. The character Avon is pure class anti-hero. Space 1999 had an amazing first series but went a bit low-brow in the second.
Just Pre ordered the new Blakes 7 Blu ray season 1 with enhanced special video effects (:
" Confirmed"
The Liberators weapons sound just the same as the show. Liberator has whats called a " Force Wall" or shield.
Blakes 7 is a great show the writing and characters are superb,BBC 70s special effects not so good .
Cant wait to see the new upgraded episodes.
Thanks for the info! I've watched a few episodes this week. Like you say, the Characters and Writing are top notch. The Blu-ray looks impressive, particular the behind the scenes content 🖖
I do want to catch Blake's 7, if/when a US-friendly BluRay set is released.😅
I think you can catch it on Britbox. The extra quality of picture and sound you get from Blu-ray is something of a waste. The original media was not all that great. The thing about Blake's 7, it was both the best and the worst. The writing was uneven. The acting was not that bad. I don't know if the show actually had a budget or if they just used the leftovers from other BBC series. The biggest thing it had going for it was, the only competition was Dr. Who. Where I lived, they put Blake's 7 just after Dr. Who so one lead into the other.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the show. Just expect more camp than quality.
@@s.patrickmarino7289 oh I fully expect the camp.😂
And I typically do Physical media, or not at all (local internet is... we'll go with inconsistent). BluRay is ideal, especially as the BBC has been reissuing series on that format of late (see Classic Doc Who)
Hey MSR-1701.. I watched the interview and pre order on Amazon in blue-ray.. full series released on November 11, 2024. Pre-order now. Think is out, but I know many sites, to watch free and HD.. just letting you know sent the list to Retro-Badger cause RUclips.. well you know..!!
@@s.patrickmarino7289 Britbox is terrible. Unless things have changed recently, their encodes do not take interlacing in to account. So rather than 50fps, you get 25fps. It's horrendous. I agree blu ray probably isn't going to be a huge improvement over the DVD, for the most part, but the redone practical effects should look a lot better - even if it loses some authenticity.
Random Cat Officer!😂😂😂
🤣🤣 She's grown on me!
Hey Admiral.. gosh, was worried no uploads, so thought you were busy with work, hope you are well also.. I too forgot about Saffi, lol. sounds better than her comments lol. The ships are tough gosh, Borg Tactical Cube and Ori, well, lol with all the pointy thingies like lawn darts lol. and very nice sounds, could here the ships flying sounds nice.. and all the collisions, ship did not blow up nice.. wow.. Love the battle Admiral..!!! The DVD's are on Amazon, but not sure if PAL, OR NTSC Formats..😊🖖
@stevelapierre4776 Thanks buddy! Hmmmz, one way to tell if it's pal is by the age rating. The UK ones are round badges. The Liberator is a really cool looking ship 🖖
@@RetroBadgerGaming 😊you are welcome too buddy.. I found the Blake 7 searching and was all 4 seasons on RUclips but now the page was taken down hmm.. One site in the list I sent free, all 4 seasons and could download.,. just saying lol.. Yes the ship is impressive gosh.. never knew that..!!!🖖
Space 1999 is a classic.
Particularly The first series.
Well to be honest, I would love to see any Perry Rhodan ships... they would trully surprise everyone! Perry Rhodan is the oldest and longest Science Fiction Story told (still in progress) .
Captain Proton would be proud.
Good stuff RBG
ty for the video and LLAP! lol
Blake's 7 haven't heard that in years.
Bigger then I expected.
Huh, assuming there are none of the usual overpowered arguments, then this is a rare instance where a ship from the seventies can in general, hand Star Trek ship their hulls on a platter.
I think these would be a decent match for andromeda tech.
OK, the Neutron Blasters seem a little underwhelming In the show they would 1 shot any ship, although due to plot device and budget they would do anything to avoid firing them. All 3 nodules would fire on a single point gaining strength the closer in they got.
OMG i thought that was the AFT.... not the Forward! lmfao
I'll have to look into it
Ok... I'm not sure what to think here! I do recognize that this is strange! At least it's cool to watch.
Some of this feels like I'm in the middle of Captain Proton, like in voyager! LOL!
I think you have collided almost all big ships to another on this game. But smaller, nimble ships.......that list is shorter, but it has happen.
No one mentioned the utterly snarky ORAC?
Or the Calm logic of Zen.
it is great if you ever get a chance you should try to listen the audios they are pretty good also.
Some odd reason the liberator looks like its backwards as the green orb makes me think of the Olympian class medical ship.
The originally envisioned the ship pointing the other way, with the Green Energy bulb at the front but during some test filming, realised that it looked better the other way around.
I want the kelvin 2009 enterprise to fight the imperial star destroyer
Will we ever see an upgraded starbug from red dwarf in one of these battles?
Maybe up against a runabout.
I wish! That would be so smegging awesome. 🖖
Do Liberator VS V'GER
I'd expect V'ger to win against any other Sci-Fi ship, including the Liberator.
1:24 how come you get to be a kitty? 😹
A kitty with a titty. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
😂😂 Q…
Blake 7 vs Star Wars
While the outcome, should be even easier than vs Trek Ships, The Mods are run by Star Wars fanboys, who make SW ships way overpowered in this game.
God, this looks like some really bad Buck Rogers crap.
