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	Sort-of inner spaceship. Often cramped layout, lots of high elevators, lots of copy&paste. Architecture simply does not work in a number of scenes. Some essential doors are completely hidden. Monster placement is mostly, er, uninterested. Overall gameplay is hopelessly poor. Very small 2* because clearly a lot of effort has been put in this, otherwise 1*. IOW: I have no idea why ^ considers this as legendary, because it obviously isn't.	x
TimeOfDeath	cool map, except for the hidden doors to the yellow and red keys	x
Anonymous	Sorry, maybe good riddlerooms, but it's too annoying for me. 2/5 - Optimus	x
Anonymous	Some nice ideas, but the gameplay is nothing to write home about. -- 3/5	x
Anonymous	It´s very nice, so many puzzles with switches, but I didn´t like the huge amount of color differences.... Green, red, blue...	x

Version info:

Version 2.2   (final?) Changed to MAP01 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 2.1   DOOM II version 1.666 and above. Harder (a lot) than
              voidship for DOOM I. Those D2 baddies pack a wallop!
              v1.1 is just a playability touchup after reading
              lots of e-mail from you folks. It also corrected some
              typos in this text file and expanded it to include
              the Internet info.

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.
