Official Release Notes[edit]
Mentor system reimplemented[edit]
The Mentor system is now back with many improvements. With the Mentor system experienced participants can teach newcomers about Entropia Universe.
- In order to become a mentor you have to have an account for at least 6 months and you have to have at least profession level 15 in any profession.
- A Mentor has to register to become a mentor.
- A disciple can find a suitable mentor in the mentor registry.
- A disciple can kick a mentor at any time, and a mentor can kick a disciple. The disciple progress will be lost, but you can restart the process again with a new mentor.
- The disciple's skill progress is based on the sum of the skills: Anatomy, Geology and Engineering. The starting progress is your current skill when you start. You also have to get three achievements: Team hunt with your mentor, Disciple mining and Disciple hunting.
- A disciple will have the opportunity to rate the mentor when graduating.
- Both mentor and disciple get gifts if the disciple graduates successfully.
- Disciples and mentors from the old system will automatically be converted to the new implementation.
Space[edit]
Space has been rescaled. Vehicle speed and fuel consumption has been adjusted to better fit the new conditions.
Warp Speed[edit]
To improve possibilities of traveling over the increased distances, we invented a warp drive device, that you can add to the vessels engineering interface. The warp drive device will deteriorate with every use independently of distance traveled.
Activate and use warp speed:
- Activate warp drive from pilot seat.
- Select any position in space you want to travel to.
- The ship prepares for warp speed for 30 seconds. If being attacked, or attacking, during this period, the warp speed will abort.
- The ship enters warp speed.
When traveling in warp speed the journey will go through a set of warp speed route points to the desired destination.
Warp Mines[edit]
In order to stop vessels traveling in warp speed warp mines can be dropped.
Warp mines can be dropped from smaller vessels and will be active for a limited amount of time only.
The success rate of bringing a ship out of warp speed depends on:
- Placement of the Warp Mine.
- The level of the Warp Mine.
- Warp drive level of the target vessel.
- Captain skills on target vessel.
Fixed issues in space[edit]
- Space has been updated with better graphics and more space mobs.
- When dodging shots in space, the pilot will gain skills in captain profession.
- Space station safe zones now have equal distances to planet teleportation zones.
- All motherships and privateers will be moved to the closest space station.
- Added target markers for creatures in space.
- Home visualization in the Map UI is updated more often for motherships. This location can be viewed by mothership guests and mothership deed managers no matter where they are.
- As a passenger in a mothership, privateer or if you are on a space station, you can now see where the ship (or space station) is located in space in the Map UI. Remember to select Space in the Map UI drop-down list.
- When destroying a small vessel, the avatar's hit points are reduced to 10.
- As a holder of a deed for privateer/mothership you are now allowed to enter the ship without claiming it.
- Fixed issues with crosshair in mothership's gunner seat.
Ammo Types Conversion[edit]
Light, Medium and Heavy Weapon Cells have been merged into a single type. The same goes for BLP Packs. All existing stacks have been converted.

Improvements to creatures and their AI[edit]
