*notes 
      The idea for this is certainly not new. UT and another game whos name i have forgotten
     have this kind of "ship flying through space" thing going. I just wanted to see what
     I could do with the idea in Q2. I am happy with the stars thing but the tight flat
     layout may not play all the well. After all this is just meant to be a gimmick map 
     anyway.

*INSTALLATION*

       if you got this zip file intact just aim this puppy at your quake2
               folder and let 'er rip.
