Honestly with a good rp having too much or too little of a thing can be just as much of a challenge and can bring interesting outcomes. For example too many cannons can lead to too much energy draw which requires too frequent acquisition of resources. That's a weakness that balances out an advantage

2. Race #1: Humans. Modern-day humans, nothing particularly unique about them. All in this case are employed by the Foundation, a secret organization intended to protect humanity from that which is unknown/not understood by science. When the Breeosh came, the Foundation made the controversial decision to run instead of fighting, hoping to save humanity by finding a new home.
3. Race #2: Unidentified population of nonsentient spherical repair drones of unknown origin. Said drones communicate with each other in what appears to be binary Swedish, and frequently sing upbeat work songs in Swedish. (The reason for this is unknown.) The drones 'reproduce' via a mitosis-like process.
4. Population by race: 2,172 humans, approximately 10,000 repair drones.
5. Ship design: (pics or description) http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-2722/2722-Z-3.png
The Solidarity is utterly massive - just under 24.5 kilometers long, and 6 kilometers wide at its widest point. It is also not built by humanity. The Foundation has absolutely zero idea who built it; they literally just found it drifting in the outer solar system in the 21st Century, and have kept it hidden until now, essentially. Examination suggests that the Solidarity may be millions of years old, and evidence suggests it has been modified time and time again, having been passed from one culture to another. Judging by the nature of some of these modifications, it is suspected that some of these may involve alternate timelines. As a result, the ship is a chaotic hodgepodge of machinery that somehow still works. However, the Foundation was just beginning to crack the surface of the ship's inner workings when the Breeosh attacked - we don't even have a full internal map yet. (However, the stuff shown below is the extent of its capabilities for RP combat purposes; I won't be suddenly 'discovering' a giant death-laser.)
6. Ship propulsion capabilities: (no "jump drives") The Solidarity is propelled by 11 nuclear engines. Painfully slow. An FTL system has been discovered; it works by using dark energy to 'cancel out' the ship's mass. However, it only cancels out enough mass to get us to half the speed of light.
7. Ship weapon capabilities: (energy? conventional? ammo?) Below are some of the known weapon systems aboard the Solidarity. It should be noted that most of these have not been tested. Results upon use may vary, and not in a good way.
- 500x 477mm very-high-velocity breech-loading cannons with automated control systems and manual targeting. Each gun is connected to a central 'scoreboard,' we don't know why.
- 1 kinetic delivery system capable of firing very high-yield Teller-Ullam thermonuclear projectiles. Use of this weapon is currently forbidden due to a Hungarian-language inscription on the weapon reading "DO NOT USE: BLAST RADIUS EXCEEDS RANGE." The weapon is currently in moderate disrepair, and is not operational at this time.
- 1 15m-long organic anti-boarding module. Believed to contain a large number of insectoid organisms of unknown disposition (thus, potentially hostile). Current standing orders are to not open this under any circumstances, on account of several inscriptions saying not to.
- 34 magnetic accelerator cannons, stationed across three separate decks.
- 1 "GRAND WAVE MOTION PROJECTION CANNON," an extremely ornately-decorated device located at the bow that accelerates carbon atoms to near-lightspeed somehow. Appears to be intended as a shield-depleting and/or armor-piercing weapon. If a nearby inscription is to be believed, the discharging of this weapon in the atmosphere has catastrophic and highly destructive effects. Exactly how one would go about getting the Solidarity into a planet's atmosphere is currently unknown.
- 3 magnetic accelerator cannons. Mounted ventrally, with 2km-long rails. Possibly intended for waste disposal, as no ammunition has been found; however, onboard machinery has been used to create more-or-less functional rounds.
- 12 high-powered chemical lasers designed for missile interception. At the moment, five are irreparably damaged.
8. Ship shielding capabilities: (no op shielding that cant be damaged) All attempts to locate actual shielding have failed. It would appear that the Solidarity was intended to rely solely on its thick armor plating.
9. Ship supply needs: (food? water? atmosphere?)The Solidarity seems to be mostly self-sustaining in terms of its atmosphere, though attempts to identify exactly what replenishes the atmosphere have failed due to the sheer size of the ship. Food-wise, we have about two months' worth of military rations available, and about a month-and-a-half of water. We can, however though, recycle and purify wastewater.
10.Support Vessels: (how many? how big? capabilities?)
Around thirty single-pilot fighters of unknown origin armed with autocannons and guided missiles were discovered in a 'docking bay'-like area. Said fighters bear Soviet-style Russian inscriptions, and appear to be designed for the use of a quadrupedal, digitigrade species. No attempts have been made to fly them.
We also have fifty Foundation-built ES-11 Exoatmospheric Combat Vehicles, which are essentially gun-armed, heavily armored Soyuz capsules. Not even joking. They may be pathetically outmatched, but their armor is thick enough that they can take a serious beating.
Additionally, we have three quite large space shuttle-like landing craft of unknown origin. They were discovered in a hangar, and each is approximately sixty feet long. They are unarmed.
11. Escape Capabilities: (escape pods? how many?)
One 150-meter-long escape vehicle with massive cargo space. For some reason, it is fitted with absurdly large water purification systems and a molecular factory designed to produce krill. Controls are very large, and require mechanical assistance to operate. Around 75 smaller, twelve-man, short-range escape pods are scattered around the ship.
12. Compare your crew's outlook on the world to that of a known space species: (ie, my race is warlike and similar to Klingons) They're a lot like the humans in Stargate - more or less modern-day humans trying to find their way in the universe. (note: I have never actually watched Stargate)

Question? Your Faster Than Light system is described as only being able to get the ship to half the speed of light... Is it damaged or was this a typo or something...?

Thanks!
The cliff notes if anyone needs a summary: You know how starships in Star Trek have inertial dampeners, so the crew doesn't get turned to strawberry jam when they suddenly accelerate to the speed of light? Oprusa doesn't have those, so not only does the crew go into hibernation, they're submerged in impact gel to soften the blow. My post concerned the captain going through wakeup (it's protocol to do him first) and his reaction to being told "Um, we don't know where we are, we're cut off from calling home, and there are others with us we've never seen before."
Oh, and that Solar network RODAN (ship AI) mentioned? That's a series of stations strewn across the galaxy, each orbiting a star and acting as a sensor post and message relay to form a sort of galactic phone network. Without one in range, there's no way to call home.
