Rockets are the means by which players travel from world to world. They are the first objects the player builds in the game.

All rockets are modular, so any combination of nose-cone, cockpit, and engine can be used to form a rocket. The modular rocket parts can also be put on properties. All rockets requires the use of a Launchpad to operate.

Rockets can be assembled and taken apart in the following worlds: Venture Explorer, Avant Gardens, Nimbus Station, Starbase 3001, MoonBase, DeepFreeze, Robot City, Portabello, Nexus Tower.

Trivia[]

  • The Classic Rocket, Pod Rocket, Steampunk Rocket, Nexus Force Rocket, Nimbus Rocket, Pirate Rocket, Ninja Dragon Rocket, an unreleased horse rocket, and Duck Rocket were physically assembled using real-life LEGO bricks and displayed with other LEGO Universe models in NetDevil Headquarters. The horse rocket was likely intended for the unreleased Kingdoms World.
