Engineers The truth about Yttrium

[DragoonKnight]

If people spent as much time playing the game looking for polonium and yttrium as they do moaning in the forums about it, they'd have masses of it by now.

I am pretty sure it is impossible for me to play the game on my way home from work and during brief periods during the day

Whats so fun about buying Yttrium in real life?

I need a certain element for a project
I purchase the aforementioned element
I am able to work on my project
*GREAT SUCCESS!*

This is in direct opposition to
I need a certain element for a project
I have to go to god-knows-where and mine for it
I bring the aforementioned element back to my lab
Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars later, I am able to work on my project

Ever since engineers came out a lot of people have been searching for some Yttrium to upgrade their FSD drives. We traveled hundreds, sometimes thousands, of light years all over the galaxy for this elusive element. We scoured moons, planets, and tentacle monsters. Just for a few units of Yttrium. It turns out that we did not really have to do that. It turns out that Yttrium is not very expensive at all and is fairly easy to obtain.
Who came up with the idea of making us run all over the galaxy just for a few units of this stuff? [wacky][wacko]

That means all will be better, once we can land on Earth! [yesnod]
