I liked everything for the most part, though I was a bit disappointed that the new skymetal from the Red Redoubt of Karamoss was basically just for spellcasters, I was hoping the sci-fi esque dungeon would have something a bit more...I don't want to say fighter oriented, because we already have that in adamantine, but I guess versatile?

Feh, I'll never claim to be good at expressing my thoughts 100% of the time. Plus there's always the next one (hopefully. hint, hint, nudge, nudge).

Are there any real good resources in the pathfinder books that I could utilize?

Not in Pathfinder that I'm aware of. I believe it was in Unearthed Arcana in 3.5.

Fatigue is basically a set of temporary hit points you get when battle starts. The way we used to do it was that when combat started you took your current HP total and got that much fatigue that you could go through before you started taking actual damage. Granted we did this in a no-magic campaign world, so it was implimented as a way to make up for healing magics (we also ruled it didn't apply to energy damage, though that was rare (but brutal)), but I think giving 1/4th or 1/2 current total HP in fatigue for battles would give the sort of feel to the players you're going for.

It would also give you as the DM freedom to experiment a bit with encounters, like adding patrol of lower level mooks for the PCs to cut through (and feel badass about) on their way to taking out some spell casters set up on a ridge overlooking a battle field, or being able to throw higher powered foes at them for a bit more of a challenge.

You might consider giving the PCs a small amount of fatigue, maybe 1/2 of their current HP in fatigue when they get into a fight. Being able to shrug off a few hits before going into hit points would give them the impression of being the sort of awesome A-team type force you're going for.

And if you want an encounter to be particularly memorable consider giving the bad guys fatigue if they warrant it. You'll relish the looks on their faces when the realization hits for a long time.
