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!

Reviews:

Anonymous	Great map with a nice atmosphere. One of the best 1994 wads. --- 5/5	x
Anonymous	A large, somewhat challenging, good-looking map, set in a spaceship somewhere in space. Lots of cool sequences and clever secrets (one or two may be very tough to find). There's an unnecessary Cyber fight just past the bridge of the ship, but you're given an invuln and can just skip it if you want. Some quirks in progression may prove confusing the first time you play it. A solid old-school experience. Recommended. --4/5	x

                          Lim, the creator of UAC_DEAD.WAD. His starry 
                          sky inspired me to start voidship.wad

Version info: This is version 1.1. New and Improved! I Fixed a VISPLANES
              OVFLOW bug. You probably wouldn't have experienced 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!

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

You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no 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 send me free copies. Note that this includes the so-
called copying charges of shareware vendors.
