You do realize that Tritium is a real thing in real life, right? Are you mad that Elite has "water" worlds - surely Frontier should have their own term for "water".

Now if you want an example of lazy, look at the NPC text comms - that's lazy wrting.

That No Mans Sky has been using Tritium to power their ships since the beginning of that game -
Fdev has used a lot of other terms from various games in E-D .
How Many Others Have You Noticed ?
They are too lazy to think up their own terms for new additions to the game.

Really? You do realize that Tritium is a real element on the periodic table, not a term from No Man's Sky. Perhaps there are other real elements that Frontier has "plagiarized" such as Carbon and Sulfur. I checked the game and, sure enough, Frontier is actually plagiarizing a lot of terms from science! Let's report them to the Worldwide Hall of International Nuclear Energy Risks Symposium (WHINERS).

I'm surprised by that.
I'd have thought late 70's / early 80's Cambridge students would have been the target market so it would have least been discussed, however if DB says he's never heard of traveler then you've got to believe him.

Perhaps Ian's friends were players.

Beer World, or even better, Single Malt World.
Yup want that when planet legs come out.
Now I'm mad because they used water, ugh, what were they thinking, every other game out there uses water, such cheap developing.

This Commander is the finest person I haven't met yet.
Didnt Laibach/Iron Sky use Tritium as the story for finding fuel on the dark side of the occupied moon?
