This is going out far later than it has any right to, and frankly that's on me. Assuming you're even in command still, given these 'elections' of yours, I've looked over the reports both you and my guys posted to the server. Admittedly, this was ported to my 'to-do' folder, which constantly gets backed up with other stuff, so, again, that's on me.

To those reports, though, I do have some insights, so I'll go easiest to more headache inducing:
LRS and EW - Scanners tend to be the first to go when drydock is unavailable for considerable periods, though not always. A good deal of time having engineers looking over these, maybe a week or two, usually fixes the main issues. You've probably already had this issue handled by the time I'm sending this reply.
If so, cool. If not, points above, not a hard issue to resolve.

ExHSM and Jump Drive - I'm making a minor assumption here and going with this translation of 'wormhole generator'. There were modules in the past that weren't rechargeable that did the same thing for a longer period of time, but those have since gone the way of the Benara Parikeel. You might've heard of them - the modules, not the Parikeel.. or maybe you have. I don't know.
Regardless, I'm a big proponent of ripping the band-aid off here. HSMs haven't had a major use since the blackout, and the nerds are still out on when that hulk of OS updates is gonna drop. Considering your HSMs are experimental, that's likely going to be even more space taken up that frankly could be put to better use. Ammo storage, crew quarters, additional hangar space for your secondary upgrade aims; The world really is your heclam here.
Jump Drive, I'd look at keeping. If your ExHSMs are threaded into your generator, which was often done in the name of 'efficiency' (it's bullshit, really), it may be more of a headache to separate them, but, again, big proponent of ripping the band-aid off. That kind of migraine stops once you handle the problem spot. Not sure what gen' your drive is, so that may factor in; Only one way to know, really.
That said, these drives are stupidly useful these days, especially considering the shit we handle on a daily basis.

CPD - Boy, this is one problem I just can't escape, can I? Perks are you know what the problem is; Cons are that's about where the perks end. Sabotage is an infinitely more annoying bird to quack than standard disrepair. Damage of that scale usually goes deeper than you'd think, which brings about its own set of problems beyond the hardware. Leeching into other systems, potential off-balance once you actually get it running again, among others.
Worth a thorough workout; Power is frankly the one thing you should never skimp on. Keeps the lights on, yeah?

Hopefully these help, even if time between then and now made some points redundant.

Good to hear. Given where we've found ourselves, maximum flexibility is gonna be a lifesaver for ops against the Republic.

Rev and her gang might have an interest in that old experimental hardware, though I'd mull it over with them first before you show up and drop it on their doorstep. Odds are though that the fancy gear you've got combined with that big data drop the Hack Pack leaked a while ago might be something they could make work in your favor. Give 'em a call, could be something there.

As for procurement, those on the outside willing to work with us are a lot fewer and far between than I'm comfortable with, but there was one freighter captain Crowe was working with pretty recently that I'm sure they'd vouch for: Heinrike. Been working with the Pinnacle gang for a while now, and seems to have a good grasp of the less-than-lawful side of the sector, at least from what little I've seen. Good head on their shoulders, too.

Good luck out there.
