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.

Re: Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)
There were three types of engines: hyper drive, improbability drive, and bistromathic drive. I think the improbability drive allows your ship to pass through all points of the universe in an instant. The bistromathic drive is more advanced, and you need a bistro, a little restaurant, inside your ship.
Also, there's the Somebody Else's Problem field (SEP) which is like a cloaking device. It doesn't turn your ship invisible, but causes people to ignore it because it becomes somebody else's problem.
