Did anyone ever find it useful?
Like "oh **** if only I had one more piece of tritanium... oh hey!"

Why would CCP include one with rookie ships >_>

I see this discussion was good enough to warrant it's own thread, lol. The infinite conundrum of the lonely piece of trit.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

CCP are trolls™(Trolling is trademarked by Cat Troll) is my guess.

10cm by 10cm chunk of corrosive metal that tends to blow up at atmospheric temperatures sounds useful.

The Insurance Corp is pissed off at capsuleers blowing up ships - Despite the paltry payout, the underwriters lose ISK on every ship they insure. The Trit is a 'Fsk You!' to the capsuleer from the underwriters.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

When you put it that way...
Who the hell named it Tritanium?
I would call it Corrodeboom.

It's a historic leftover by now. There once was an incident when Chribba hoarded all Veldspar and refused to refine any of it. To keep the economy from crashing there had to be a Tritanium influx to the economic cycle, which was implemented by equipping rookie ships with 1 unit of it.

My theory is that their is some deep bug within the code that respawned you with 1 trit, and instead of fixing the bug they made it a feature, either that or in order for the respawning system to work, you have to generate an object such as 1 trit.

I heard someone is doing it, just to place 1 trit and/or a noob ship in EVERY SINGLE stations in EVE. maybe this is the reason behind?

The Great Tritanium Crunch, most called it. It was a dark time, but records of it have been purged from history by Lord Chribba of Veldspar.

Its to remind you that no matter how many times you get ganked or lose your money you will ways be able to trash 1000's of newb ships, get a stack of trit to gamble on a game of chance, win big and then lose it all over again in some hair brained scam or gank

If you lose as many ships as I do since I came to CCP and started playing differently, you'll soon have a stack big enough to build yourself some Warp Core Stabilizers Lol
