I saw what looked like a test of a new jet in one of my games.
It came flying in across the map, looked like it bombed a turret off in the distance, and then took off. 
It was fast, sleek looking, and pretty awesome! Can't wait to fly it. |

Wow... you almost sound like a real UFO chaster! Where did you learn to speak like this?

You know I actually saw a shadow glade across the ground last night in a match, and it did indeed have a jet-like silhouette to it (seriously, not joking).
Could possibly have been a balboa (or whatever they are called), but at the time I didn't hear one and thought the glimpse of this shadow was strange. |

When they showed Dust gameplay the first few times, back at fanfest iirc, they showed gameplay where one of the devs sucked at flying a jet-copter type craft, they then crashed into a building because he is a terribad pilot. |

you can spawn the air strike by the unreleased fighter bombers by doing the following.
1st, you need to be in a minmatar logi suit. You need 700 War points, BUT NO MORE. So don't join a squad. Then , and this is important, you need to get back into the MCC, and wait in front of the door inside for 20 seconds, it will open and you'll be allowed into bomber control. This can also be done by glitching through the door.
Once inside spend your 700 war points and then quickly jump out of the MCC! you don't want to miss the fun! |

man, after watching that again, I think the game looked better, at least concept wise. it looked like players were buying the equivalent of null cannons and grouping them into what would be player bases ( just some structures people call down). |

Well it most certainly isn't EVE players (If it was seen in the planet's atmosphere and I'm guessing it was) because their ships are made partly out of tritanium... Which explodes when it enters atmosphere. But yes we are getting Sub-Orbital Fighter Ships. If you pay attention in the opening cinematic you can see them near the end. And in some concept arts they are there as well. |

Yanno, you'd think that, but apparently the ORBOMB ammo is made from Tritanium....
Edit: In the lore there is also a weapon designed to blast apart walls that uses Tritanium rods that are exposed to the atmosphere. Not sure why that's relevant, just thought I'd throw it out there. |

This would be the "Spoke Bomb" mentioned in the EVE novels. It's quite nasty and is usually used for clearing rooms, destroying structures, forced entry and clearing debris in search and rescue operations.
As for the use of titanium in ship building, it's generally alloyed with other metals and as such, isn't going to explode if it comes into contact with breathable atmosphere. It's the same concept as magnesium and potassium being pretty volatile metals on their own (try dumping a lump of raw potassium in water, or using setting fire to a pure magnesium ribbon).
When they're alloyed however, they lose a lot of their volatile properties. For instance Magnesium alloys are used to produce lightweight alloy wheels and engine parts for cars and trucks. It's the same for tritanium.
The issue that EVE's ships have isn't based around the volatile nature of tritanium, they simply aren't designed to fly in atmosphere. They're far too heavy, they don't have the right aerodynamic properties, and don't possess the correct control systems for air flow management to be able to manouvre correctly.
