Geognome: added page to fill a missing link

Tritanium is the mineral that is the primary structural component of ships and starbases. It is used in every item built in the game other than starbase defenses construction.

Geognome:

Duranium is a mineral primarily used to build the frame work of starships and components as well as starbases and fighters.

Torpedoes need one unit for each torpedo constructed. Every ship's component other than the two smallest beam weapons uses a small amount of Duranium and every starship and fighter uses some. The largest ships can need hundreds of units in their structure.

Notes:
*Fuel usage formula is approximate with about a +/-5KT error
*The units are per 1/100,000 of a KT per LY, i.e. 100 corresponds to .001 KT-fuel/KT-mass/LY
*A 200 KT ship going 20 LY at Warp 8 with Nova Drive 5 engines would take about 15 KT of fuel (.0036641*200*20)
