I posted some of the draft description in IRC and nobody objected, but I can change it. I thought Blackbirds went up to .2, so split the difference between both spacecraft, and deleted the ability to carry squadrons of Zigs.
Most of the specifications like transport capabilities and the like were based on the actual wikipedia article on the B1. The B-36 can carry 39 tons internally, the B1 can hold 30 tons, and 20 externally, but it's got nowhere near the internal volume a B-36 has. (It actually carries more than a B-52. The problem is that it's expensive, and a maintenance/reliability nightmare, and not as flexible as the bigger bombers)
I thought of it as being like a gaming laptop. It's not really as good a mobile computer as a standard laptop and not as powerful as a desktop, and probably costs more than the combination.... and is more prone to breaking. It gets the best and worst of both worlds....
I could change the speed ratings down to .8 and .1, splitting the middle again. Any other ideas?
