I can't believe it! I've wanted to have a picture of Blake's ship ever
since I first saw it about 12 or 13 years ago! It's great!

Nope, don't watch it any more, but that looks pretty damn close to what I
remember from my childhood and/or the episodes I caught a couple of
years back.
Although to be slightly more accurate, ditch the media round the back
end, and try to make it look a bit more like a painted table tennis ball
<grin>
Oh, and I like the starfield. not too dense, and stars don't show up as
irregular splodges.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Yes, those are the laserguns. Very ineffective. It can only shoot
forwards.
But, hey, it looks impressive, doesn't it?

You might be right.

It's a crackle-pattern.
It's explained on my site.

Great image, havn't seen Blake 7 for about 20 years.
Some real good textures and blairing type effects
around the lights.

Good enough for dog-chases.

Menacing, I'll give you that. :)

Looking good, but the texture is wrong. Yours looks metallic and
space-worthy. You need a cheesy cardboard and squeezy bottle texture.
Also, the original had thin filiments extending vertically upwards from
several points on the hull. I believe they were used in navigation.
Similiar filiments can be seen on various spaceships and craft in Dr Who,
Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, etc.

Who needs lasers and torpedoes when you can just poke other ships to pieces?

This reminds me of a story I read somewhere...I don't remember where,
though it might have been by Asimov. There was a battle scene, and the
defending ships had the usual laser weapons for normal use, but they
also had a long, hard steel "needle" that they could extend. At a point
where the battle was going pretty badly for them, these "needleships"
extended the needle and rammed the enemy ships at high speed. As I
remember, they did a very good job of destroying the enemy fleet(a
strong pointed object with the momentum of an entire ship behind it...),
even though the needle often could only be used once(they tended to
break off or get stuck, and the ship could sustain damage in the
ramming).
Of course, it wouldn't resemble this ship at all, I imagined it as a
large solid spear-like object on a boom in front of the ship, maybe to
one side.

Actually, there was a Dr. Who episode where there were great "bow ships"
that were used to destroy giant space vampires.
These did have a large central spike and 3 smaller "arrows" that were flown
headlong into the heart of the vampire.

Umm, "giant space vampires"? :-)
What exactly did they suck the blood of?

Entire civilizations.
In fact, they were "so bad" that the Timelords violated their "never
interfere" policy to get rid of them. But one survived by slipping into
N-Space.
