I think it was generally decided a while back that Oddworld is fantasy, definitely not science fiction. Lasers, rocket ships and several other things, we decided, would just be wrong for Oddworld. But thinking about it, technology must keep progressing, so maybe we will see Mudokons, Glukkons, Vykkers and Sligs in space - it would have to be done extremely carefully, though. Remember that Glukkons only really like the indoors, so they couldn't be in space vessels with windows. I can almost imagine a Glukkon space vessel, big and cumbersome, very dark and messy, with Sligs in some kind of uniform at the helm and oily Mudokons being forced to drive machinery of some kind. I'm not sure though - certainly not in the Quintology, I'd say.
