Not yet! But I'm planning on incorporating them after reading about them. Thank you for pointing us towards them Gadrin!

Containment housings for hyperdrive coils.
Reactor housing for M-AM reactors.
Gyroscope fly-wheels ;)

Like DhAkael said. Probably components for a star drive, power sources, containment units and so on. Also armor like you mentioned. Imagine making rail gun rounds using that dense a metal :eek: Giga damage anyone? Gantrium could also be one of those exotic metals. With its unique P.P.E. properties.

Interesting question Gadrin. What were your thoughts on it?

I can see those rounds reaching some truley terrifying damage levels. But giga damage? I don't think so. I rate them very close to the level of the SDF-1 from Robotech. (As long as the ship firing it would be big enough.)

This is going to test my memory as I don't have my books. My wife and I are in Boston for a few days seeing the sights.

I think Gantrium is in the first Seige on Tolkeen book. Its the metal that makes up those magic rings. There is also a special stone as well and I think its called Xanthine? I think it halves the P.P.E. cost of spells.

Now that is very interesting to note! Thank you for pointing that out Carl and Gadrin. I'll have to go and check it out.

Any further ideas of what those Eka-metals could be used for. I was thinking about a new capitol ship weapon system. I know Kitsune has created Grazers for his game. But suppose the one of those metals helped to allow it's creation. Just a thought.

I wasn't planning on using like a projectile weapon. More of a focus for high energy capaciters. But the FTL enhancers makes a lot of sense.
