The team from Entropia Universe has announced a brand new vehicle system for players to enjoy.

VEHICLES

They are fast and they are awesome - vehicles are now available in Entropia Universe!
Take your friends on a road trip, cruising through the varied landscapes of the different planetary systems. Take a joyride along the coast or through the inland, quickly reaching remote locations. Drive through PvP zones, sneak up on opponents in a pimped military car, and crush all resistance.

With this new Vehicle system, the whole community now has the opportunity to build vehicles.

The features included in today's release are just the beginning of the Vehicle system content. The development teams are already working with upcoming features:

Boats. It will soon be possible to cruise the lakes and oceans on the planets of Entropia Universe. Several different types of boats will be available.
Aircrafts. Rule the sky with a helicopter or aircraft. Enjoy fast traveling with your friends between different locations. Motor cycles, hovercrafts, tanks, sports cars and other vehicles you can drive on land.

The vehicle system is also the gateway to space, enabling for avatars to cruise around in space and visit various places and planets in space.
The commissioning step is a preparation for vehicles that will be possible to modify more than today´s models. This means that the users can modify cars for a more unique look with special and perhaps rare vehicle parts. This will also affect the vehicle statistics.

New rules will be added to the existing Event system, where vehicles will have a more prominent role. In those events the cost for using the vehicles and vehicle weapons will be adjusted for a much cheaper usage.
