Well no not for starships. But as something to trade. you know you move your ships in and mine what ever it is on there and then you trade is to another species. lol

Boron is a non-metal, and latinum isn't an element at all.

By saying you can find metals on asteroids, you are correct, but your statement was redundant (no offense) because we were already stating metals you can find on asteroids.

Yeah, Latinum is made up, but i thought he meant in the Star Trek Universe. like Trellium-D

and Tuvok8917 said you can find metal on an Asteroid while i already gave a couple of Metals as Example before.

Asteroids are chunks of space dust just like planets are, anything that can be found on planets can be found on asteoids, Except gases, for a gas to be on an asteroid it would need to be in an airtight compartment or it would disperse, the only other way an asteroid can contain a gass is if the gas is bonded with another element in which it is alowed to solidafy.
