probably the fuel to use in future fusion reactors

Tritium has been used in all thermonuclear weapons and in fusion research reactors, but probably won't be used if and when fusion power generation goes mainstream due to the high neutonicity of the reaction.

Tritium has a half life of 12 years and you won't find it in mineable quantities in space, let alone hundreds of tons of the stuff.

Natrual tritium is produced constantly by the interaction of fast neutrons on nitrogen. Traces of it are present in Earth's air and water, and higher concentrations are likely to be present in icy rings/bodies around certain stars, despite it's low half-life. Getting a few tons from a multi-million ton chunk of ice that's constantly being irradiated doesn't seem terribly far fetched to me.
 
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?
Y'see I need more scotch....n beer....but mostly scotch. And beer.
Oh hang on it was Hydrogen3 or something. should have been scotch...or beer.

I knew I wasn't the only one!
If I ever get to name a station it's gonna be called "Glen Roths" and every Cmdr docking will be welcomed with a double on or off the rocks.
FCs, or all ships for that matter, should run on Scotch, multi purpose fuel for the win.
 
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).
There's no f in sulphur.
 
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.

Deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen have, for decades, been considered the fuels for the first generation of fusion reactors. Deuterium is practically inexhaustible due to its presence in our oceans. When it comes to the heavier tritium, the story differs considerably. Tritium is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of 12.3 years, which explains its almost natural lack of existence. In fact, the natural tritium abundance is only around 3.5 kg.
 
I wouldn't play nms if it was free lol , the whole thing was developed on a lie and a con , and if your playing it then your just saying it's ok to cheat players.

What they originally launched was certainly little better than a pale shadow of what was promised. It was nearly criminal in fact. However, the current state of the game, has made up for that. It is now pretty close to what was hyped, promised and paid for. While I am not going to forget how it launched, I am also not going to forget they eventually made good on their promises. They did not abandon their screw up like so many other companies that drop a stinker do. They owned up and did something to fix it. That is worth something to me.
 
EDIT: sorry for combo-breaking a joke thread, this one is better suited for what I posted:
Let's continue there, this one should be clean of serious discussions as OP can't be serious :D

Stop playing Elite then, there's no "big game hunting", there's no "stealing other people's ships", there's no "landing on atmospheric planets", there's no "flying in gas giants", there's no "offline mode", there's no "walking around ships" etc. etc.

I think you also should look into these social concepts called "forgive and forget", and "redemption through actions not words". You might learn something. The above comment from @gorankar sums it up perfectly:

One nitpick though: if it was criminal, there would be ligitation, especially in the UK where they have this advertising board or whatever it is called and it can smack a company pretty badly for misleading advertising.

Also, <shocker> there are people not interested in multiplayer </shocker> and it wasn't that bad as the salt-fueled cancel-hungry lynch mob on the internet tries to paint it. Just to quote one of our Elite veterans:
I avoided the initial interest in NMS but about 4 weeks from release I watched or read everything I could and I got everything I expected on release (apart from not looking quite as good as the early vids). I even realised early doors that MP was highly unlikely to appear. Apart from some vague "Yes" answer regarding Multiplayer I saw no confirmations of anything, no guarantees of anything. Give me proof where Sean EXPLICITY STATES in a legally defined way that the things you refer to would be in the game on release.

Because all I ever saw from the poop slinging NMS "no Mp wah wah wah" polly wet pants brigade was a LOT of reading between the lines and wishfull thinking.
QFT.
