No, that's not what I have in mind at all - just the opposite.
I think nano-engineered high Tc metamaterial are very likely, and indeed, that's how the real ET spacecraft fly.
I could wrong of course.
Also, my point is LOW negative energy density interstitial EM fields - their bending effect on spacetime geometry is amplified by the fourth power of the dispersive index of refraction i.e. n^4G/c^4.
Jupiter mass stuff is not correct in my opinion. It it were ET craft would not be possible yet they are here - that's the scenario I am assuming in this war game.
i.e. Guv + (n^4G/c^4)Tuv(EM) = 0
n ~ -10^10
f(permitivity)E^2 +g(permeability)B^2 < 0
for non-radiative interstitial near induction fields (coherent states of virtual photons)

The high Tc metamaterial sounds unlikely. But the idea of negative

Seems the only way to do what you want to do given that assembling a
Jupiter mass of exotic matter any other way seems hopeless. . . .

Suppose we could make a very high Tc superconducting meta-material.
The effective speed of light is then c/n where n < 0 and |n| >> 1.
Of course there will be dispersion, i.e. n(k,w) including virtual
photons.
Let's be naive and look what happens to the Planck units.
LP* = (hGn^3/c^3)^1/2 >> LP ~ 10^-33 cm
TP* = LP*/c = (hGn^5/c^5)^1/2 >> TP ~ 10^-43sec
P*P = h/LP = h/(hGn^3/c^3)^1/2 << PP
does the "i" have any physical meaning?
The Planck energy is
EP* = (hc^5/n^5G)^1/2 << EP ~ 10^19 Gev
again all of these parameters get an i
The Action Cartan 1-form is
S = Et - Px ---> -S
So the Feynman amplitudes go to their complex conjugates.
The gravity coupling of matter to curvature is now n^4G/c^4 =
1/G-string tension
suppose n ~ 10^10
LP* ~ 10^-18 cm
TP* ~ 10^-18 sec
EP* ~ 10^-6 Gev = 1kev
Furthermore the classical coherent electromagnetic field energy
density is negative - for classical fields this should produce
antigravity for non-radiative near fields (coherent states of
virtual photons) trapped inside the superconducting meta-material as
confined quantized magnetic vortices (Abrikosov lattice) under Type
II conditions.
The coupling of these magnetic vortices to the geometrodynamic field
will be 10^40 times stronger than normal.
This amazing material in my imagination at the moment would also
have stealth cloaking functionality.
