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.

Re: Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)
For starships you could have a ship component vidscreen that automatically goes opaque at the first hint of danger. Perfect for keeping starship crews from getting too stressed.

When you research computers up to a high level, you should get the ability to create planets. Remember, the Earth is actually a giant computer created to calculate what the question is to the answer 42.

Re: Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)
I'd suggest a facility for the "Earth" and the other big computer... Deep Thought?
I suggest this just because "Earth" in the most technical sense was to produce answers, not to supply a place for people to live.
I'd think you'd need to acquire trans-dimensionality before you build either though, because first you need to come in contact with Mice.

Earth was built by the Magreathareans (again sp?) using the blueprints made by Deep thought. And Humans were part of the program, but it got messed up by some aliens.
So that should be an event: Your computer has been messed up by people that can do poetry
