Greetings Planetiers,

   For your viewing pleasure, I have took it upon myself 
 to add a minor enhancement to our most loved game. 
 After gaining access to a editing program I have edited 
 the ship graphics.  These graphics are located in the 
 RESOURCE.PLN file.  

   As most everyone is aware of, the current ship images
 are of poor graphic quality.  I have attempted to touch
 up the images, providing a better image.

   I did not make any major changes to the ship images.
 I will admit I did make a few of ships changes because
 I felt they sucked so bad, they were hurting my eyes.  Of
 course, this is not say that what I replaced them with is
 any better.  You be the judge.  Now if I did my job right
 you will not notice to many changes in the ships.  I
 attempted to stay as close to the original ships designs 
 as possible.  I did not change the Race Images and several
 planets, and things, but it is possible.
 

   This file is for the Planets 3.0, not the new Winplan 3.5
 version.


 INSTALLATION:

   1.  Make sure you have a backup copy of your original
       RESOURCE.PLN file from your planets sub-directory
       before you begin.  Just in case something goes 
       wrong.

   2.  Copy the ships1_0.zip file, and extract the new
       RESOURCE.PLN file.

   3.  Copy the RESOURCE.PLN to the Planets directory.


   I am not guarranteeing the program is bug free, but then 
 what is bug free.  The testing I have done with the program
 so far has not reviel any bugs.  Thats it.  Enjoy the program,
 send your thoughts, dislikes, likes and any ideals for future
 ship designs.  I am considering reduing the entire ship images
 to a 3D perspective or new images all over in a future release.
 I will wait on that one until after I have seen the new WINPLAN
 version graphics.  

   One more thing this is freeware.  If you feel you must send
 some money, either register your shareware version of the game,
 buy a registered version for a friend, or donate it to your
 favorite charity.
