Description             : In the ruins of Deimos base, the mop-up
                          crew found plans for a ship that will
                          cross the void between the galaxies. This
                          ship will enable the Hell-Spawn to spread 
                          their evil across the entire universe! The
                          engineers at UAC have been able to beef up
                          a teleporter enough to send ONE marine into
                          the ship, which is currently cruising the
                          local galactic cluster. They can't bring him
                          back, but it is believed there is an exit 
                          teleporter on the ship. Your mission is to 
                          neutralize (with extreme prejudice) the
                          crew and get out alive!

                          thing <BG>!  Last, but not least Leo Martin 
                          Lim, the creator of UAC_DEAD.WAD. His starry 
                          sky inspired me to start voidship.wad

Version info: Requires DOOM 1 ver 1.666 or above.

              Version 1.4 (final?) Changed to E1M1 to make it play easier.
                          Added a mus file. Noticed it had disappeared
                          from ftp.cdrom.com, so reuploaded. Changed the
                          sites list because I don't know where it is anymore!

              Version 1.3 (final, I hope!) changed a few small things
                          for playability after reading lots of email.
  
              Version 1.2 updated this text to reflect new sites, and
                          added a little more colorful end screen.

              Version 1.1. New and Improved! I Fixed a VISPLANES
                           OVFLOW bug. You probably wouldn't have seen it.
                           Everything had to be just right. I changed the
                           setup in the first room so that the doors to the
                           'spokes' ALWAYS open in the correct sequence
                           (I want you to see everything!).

                           I made the SKY texture non-repeating, and threw
                           in a couple more galaxies. I also changed the
                           'eyeball' texture to a new texture rather than a
                           redefined old one. This is because of a report I
                           got that the eyeball showed up on the harder
                           difficulty levels, but MIDGRATE showed on the easy
                           ones! If anyone knows how this is possible, drop me
                           a line.

                           Enjoy folks!

Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels.
However, due credit should be given in the .TXT file accompanying
the WAD. Especially if you rip off any textures.

WARNING: This is a complicated WAD, with a lot of 'tweaking'
to make it run right. My reject options file for RMB is about 7K of 
blocks, blinds, etc. When you change ANYTHING in this WAD, the results
are unpredictable.

If you change the wad's level, the sky and end screen title might
be wrong unless you change them as well.

Be forewarned! (Also, please change the name if you change the wad.) 

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
any new sites added to the list below and no other modifications.
You may distribute this file in any electronic format (BBS, Diskette,
CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact. However, if you
include the WAD on CD or floppy disk, you may not make _any_ kind of
money from the sale of the product, unless you notify me and send me
a free copy. Note that this includes the so-called copying charges of
shareware vendors.
