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

Re: Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)
How about a very rare, very catastrophic event called "the coming of the great white handkerchief" that will destroy the entire universe?

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

Can't wait to see the racial pics for the super intelligent shades of blue!

Re: Don\'t Panic (Hitch Hiker\'s Guide...)
Well, this is a good response. I do not post much because I am not often Online, but I thank you for all of your input. I think I will have a generic Hitch Hiker's guide universe tech, and then I think I will have the races Imperial Galactic Government, Frogstar Fighters, Krikkiteers, and the Tiny invasion fleets of the V'lhurgs and G'Gunthas.
DOes anybody know about the socks and the dryers...

Just so long as you include deathbots with kricket bats I have complaints.
