I modded a ship into this game. The Duality is divided in two inaccessible sections.

Now as a mod file (use http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2464)

Interesting concept, but there'll be no way to get crew to the left half of the ship; everyone starts out in or near the cockpit, including new crew members.

so I did some actual reading and now it's a proper mod file

And no, there is no way for crew to get to the left half of the ship.

Then what happens if someone boards it?

Either use Anti-Personnel drones, or cut their oxygen.

But then, what happens if you have no drones and they destroyed the door and camera?

Yeah, it really needs a connection between sections.

Doors between rooms don't have to be direct connections, though, so you could have "teleport door" style links.

Then you die.

OK, OK, I've added a new weapon that will help.

you should add a custom room. Basically a teleporter but only between the front and back of the ship. That would make it interesting because if it gets destroyed THEN theres no link from front to back
