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.

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).

Also a titan in the atmosphere would never be a good thing

Those aren't UFOs, they're EVE players.

and you just knew that all off the top of your head?

Confirm/deny this happened?

However, some PI facility descriptions mention the use of Tritanium requiring vacuum chambers to avoid issues - Why don't they just alloy it like the starships?

I was joking, honestly.




Those applications specifically require pure tritanium.




Falcon and I know pretty much everything lore-related off the tops of our heads.

PICS OR IT DIDN-¦T HAPPEND!!!!

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.
