This stealthy fighter is the latest revelation from the Ahiwakalaka company and is sure to make a great impact on your time in flight. This is due primarily due to the use of a primitive element called tungsten being used as its hull! It is almost indestructible! It can take a nuke straight up without a scratch, and it’s shield bears new plasma-phase technology, allowing it to stay up longer, and absorb even more energy! And the best part: it’s free!
(Loljk don’t hate me)
mmmmmm…
The ship’s name gave me a design idea.
OK guys, from now on, if you’re seeking for me, I’m drawing that ship until I did something nice enough.
Here I’m gonna draw a ship that looks like a metallic fireball.
tungsten, makes great collar stay’s.
wow made of tungsten… that be one heavy spaceship! 
better not try to visit black holes 
well, remember our mk4 modules are made of iridium…

Large mass does not necessarily mean being sucked into a black hole. Let it pull you in at an angle so you bend around it and then add more velocity as you exit. It’s a great speed booster if you can pull it off. Theoretically anyways.
Btw I weld with tungsten rods.
Now I want a ship made out of Uranium. The interior and exterior can both contain some amount of the weapons grade stuff, so when the hull is breached, it reaches critical mass! And then an explosion happens and gets a little larger than it normally does.

It would, however, require a higher power output from your engines to escape. Although it seems that SC takes to Newton as a cat does to water, so take that with a grain of salt.
A uranium ship, you will have hard times finding health insurance…

Such a manouver could take you ages. Literally. It makes you fast, but it isn’t exactly a time saver…

point taken, however some of our stuff even involves osmium…

You win.
I didn’t know osmium’s density, thanks.

I didn’t even know that osmium existed in RL XD
well, to be honest, I didn’t either. It was in the article about Iridium on wikipedia, listed as the only thing which is more dense (and stable)
Tungsten and iridium are both my fav elements. They share almost identical properties and are both so strong it breaks my little foxy brain. Iridium is slightly more rigid though.
I prefer graphene coated tungsten-steel with osmiumbolts coated in hyperplastiques.

All you need is lead armor to fly it!
well, to be honest, I didn’t either. It was in the article about Iridium on wikipedia, listed as the only thing which is more dense (and stable)
here are the 9 most dense stable elements :
Osmium 22.61
Iridium 22.56
Platinum 21.46
Rhenium 21.02
Neptunium 20.45
Plutonium 19.84
Gold 19.28
Tungsten 19.25
ranium 18.95
Something about using real world element / material names in sci-fi always bugs me. Primarily because the writers screw up so often.
Long term 40K fans likely remember one of the best examples - the Bolter fires .75 cal rocket-propelled shells with a “depleted deuterium” penetrator cap. Yes, in the far future of the 41st millennium WATER is one of the most efficient materials for punching through armour! :005j:
Water is patient. Water waits. Just one drop.
I find it kinda funny how almost no in-game elements look like their real-life counterparts. Tungsten, (nor graphite) is orange. Silicon is not purple. Iridium is not green. Amg
Water is patient. Water waits. Just one drop.
Omg the waters of Mars… I need to see that again.
