FTL: Faster Than Light Wiki

I hope everyone is able to post here. I created this page for people to be able to come with suggestions to which links should be in the navigation menu.

I was requested to add Achievements to the page but discovered that the navigation bar had no more room for new menu items, so I decided to put into the Ships-menu for now. I'm not quite satisfied with the design though. If you have ideas, you're welcome to share them.

I'll add my idea/suggestion here regarding the navigation bar issue, the best i could come up with so far, is simply that all topics that are parts of the ships themselves should be in the submenu under the ships, that sounds intuitive for me at least (that means that hostile ships could have their own place in the navigation bar) and so the Ships links directly to the ships page, and in the ship menu could be Augments, Weapons, Drones, and Systems/Sub-systems, maybe even races/crew
Achievements could have general and ship achievements, the Sectors could contain the random encounters and hostile ships, and maybe if i can crunch some numbers then the races can have it's own, and under it could be a page about boarding, melee damages and hazard damages in it's own page.
And this would free up 3 spots on the nav bar for later use if need be.
for some reason the "visual representation" was not willing to be formated the way i wanted it, you can check it via editing this, maybe someone can make it look like it's supposed to:
Races/Crew     Ships        Sectors                Achievements (disamb page)
Boarding       Systems      Random Encounters      General Achievements
               Weapons      Enemy/Neutral Ships    Ship Achievements
               Drones       Rewards
               Augments
Edit1: one of the 3 freed up spots could be 'Mods' , Guides could be another, split into ship building, fighting (booth ship to ship, and boarding) and general strategy guides or something like that, and that still leaves 1 spot open on the navigation bar.

Hey EBlaise. Thank you for your suggestions.
I had a similar setup in mind, but your suggestions got me convinced we should at least make an attempt at this new layout. I used your general setup and added a little bit extra here and there. What do you think?
