Fuel, Thrusters & Gear
What powers your ship – and how to keep it flying
Space travel in Entropia Universe requires more than just a ship. Whether you’re flying a humble Sleipnir or commanding a Mothership, you’ll need the right components to leave a planet’s atmosphere and operate efficiently in space. This guide covers the essentials: fuel types, space thrusters, and additional gear that can enhance your flight or keep your ship alive under fire.
Thrusters: Your Gateway to Space
To fly in space, any atmospheric ship (like a Sleipnir or Quad-Wing) must have a Space Thruster attached.
- Item Name: Space Thruster
- Usage: Attach to your vehicle via the inventory (right-click the vehicle > Attach).
- Effect: Allows planetary ships to break through the atmosphere and enter space.
- Durability: Thrusters decay slightly with use but are not consumed entirely.
- Reusability: Reusable as long as durability remains.
Without a thruster, your ship is limited to atmospheric (planet-only) travel.
Fuel Types
Fuel is a critical consumable that powers your ship’s movement and functions.
Oil
- Used for: Most basic space vehicles
- Where to get: Refined from crude oil or bought on auction
- Consumption: Depends on ship type and distance travelled
- Notes: Most common fuel source for Sleipnirs, Quad-Wings, Equus, etc.
Welding Wire
- Used for: Repairing Structural Integrity (SI)
- Where to get: Crafted or purchased from auction/technicians
- Applied by: Engineers during combat or travel
- Notes: Essential for warp-capable ships like Motherships and Privateers, especially during PvP
Gear and Enhancements
SI (Structural Integrity) Enhancers
- Purpose: Increases a ship’s base durability
- Use Case: Ideal for warp ships and PvP scenarios
- Installation: Via Vehicle Terminal or Inventory Attach
Vehicle Weapons
- Types: Plasma cannons, laser turrets, rocket launchers
- Mounting: Only on ships designed for combat (Quad-Wing, Motherships, Triden, etc.)
- Ammo: Uses specific munitions purchasable in shops or looted
Navigation Tools
- Radar: Built-in, but varies by ship class
- Custom Waypoints: Shared with team members for coordinated warps
- Warp Drive: Integrated into Privateers and Motherships; not installable on small ships
Tips for Efficient Travel
- Always check your thruster’s durability before launch
- Carry extra oil for longer interplanetary flights
- If flying warp, make sure your ship is fully repaired before takeoff
- Use welding wire wisely, especially during PvP encounters where SI matters
- Thrusters are not needed once you’re already in space, only to leave a planet
