Default Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)

I am looking at making a few racial tech trees based on the characters, ships, technology found in the novel: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (A trilogy in 5 parts). Yes, it is intended to be light and humorous, but the techs will be competative in the SEIV universe...

That being said, I am looking for any interesting input regarding techs, ships, races etc from those whom are knowledgable of such things.

So far, I am looking at making the Imperial Galctic Government, The Mice, Frogstar Fighters, and the Kriket Robots...

Actually there are now 6 parts. Douglas Admas has once again (I know it is hard to believe) written another Hitchhikers book. Link is here!

Salmon of a Doubt isn't a part of the trillogy. It is a seperate book made from Adams' ideas. He wrote more books then the hitchhikers trillogy too. But anyways, the point is, it is not part of the trillogy.

Mr. Flib - aw, crap, wrong sci-fi parody!

Edit: Hmm, maybe a Red Dwarf mod would be fun too... wonder what kind of stuff you could put in there?

Don't forget the IPP components. Nothing like a door with a sunny and cheerful disposition.

The Nutrimatic Drink dispensers.

Vogon fleets.

And, of course the Infinate Improbability Drive.

The Vogon speech file should have some threats to read their poetry.
