Federation A has some really nice flexibility and lends itself well to lots of different builds as well.
This should be fun.-

wow I was very tired this morning. I thought I wrote up a length post with comments & suggestions..
Navigation should be Iconeum, I think.
I think? he's new to FTL, which means the game will be 9,001 times more funner with a newer navigator.
He's also a slug, and slug mind control immunity = low chance of evasion suddenly being reduced to 0% (really, outside of missile bombardment & hacking, which are somewhat avoidable).
I'll happy take control of technology, as Varsoon suggested. My quick repair ninja skills are very valuable in the shield room, and I'm fine with making small decisions on the fly with the 'ethos' of the rest of the crew in mind and reporting back on major decisions where feedback's needed.
Logistics I'm fine with Varsoon looking after. My only suggestion would be to consider PvtUrist for this job, as having a Rock on engines for their tendency to BURST INTO HORRIFIC FLAMES at any moment can be useful. But if either/both of you have a strong preference, I support it.
That being said, weaponry should indeed be taken by someone experienced and that's PvtUrist to a T. he's an absolute gun (pun intended) at FTL and would handle this role with the care it demands.
Vars, I'm not sure how experienced you are - if you're good at FTL too then my call on the engine room might be worth having a think about. basically, i'd recommend;
if vars is a FTL ninja:
Navigation = Iconeum
Technology = the worst
Logistics = PvtUrist
Weaponry = Varsoon
if vars is less experienced at FTL:
Navigation = Iconeum
Technology = the worst
Logistics = Varsoon
Weaponry = PvtUrist-

Yeah, that's a valid point.
I'm more than happy with you covering engines. PvtUrist is still someone I'd be very happy to see on weapons.
The game will be modified so the nuances of our leet FTL skillz will be harder to utilise. But definitely good to know we've got a bit of savvy on the team.-

We do have some kind of augment which speeds up shield restoration but indeedy, shields 1.
We have oxygen at 100% and I'll leave that system on - medical room is on standby at the moment (I'll leave that system off until needed of course)
Doors can be controlled by anyone within the door room.
Sensors can be checked by anyone in the sensor room.
Whoever accesses the system receives this privately.
Sorry if this is common knowledge but I assume it's at least somewhat in my domain.

I am a shields power vampire.
Medbay still off and we need oxygen so not sure I can afford to within the Technology side of things.
PvtUrist is there any spare energy on the weapons front?-

Yeah, fair call. I'd prefer not to mess around with Oxygen when it hasn't been upgraded at all (it just takes a couple of stray shots and a couple of fires in a bad location and we're suddenly in a bit of a crisis - I might be overly paranoid here, so if you'd all prefer to overrule me I'm happy to run with your thoughts)-

I have run some calculations and determined Varsoon's posts on this page to be the most amusing, by a margin of 3.71%.
Thanks for the scrap so far. We almost there.-

No. Engine upgrade then as much hull repair as possible.
We need to pool scrap in early sectors absolutely vitally or we will die horrible deaths. If you need to collect scrap wait a couple of sectors out til we can actually survive.

Sorry I was kind of waiting for PvtUrist to suggest an alternative.
Appreciate more core systems are a priority but I'd rather have upgrades now than roll the dice on when we'll find a viable option in a shop.
If pvtutist consents to the leap I'm on board. I'll try and keep an eye on my phone so I can be around to shift or make a purchase.-

Iirc there were some Federation sectors closer to home. I think the first focus is of course having enough fuel to escape this sector + a few jumps into the next. Second priority getting hull somewhere near 50-70%. Then more fuel, then vanity hull repairs
I may be somewhat reckless on this front...-

We have an anti-drone drone system available here for 35 which is the only real affordable/interesting option imo. there's also beams and a drone recovery arm and the usual shields medbay oxygen etc.-
