When you say instead, do you mean instead of both of the choose two options or just one of them?

Instead of both.

[hider=p113]You choose two additional ship systems to improve. Your choices
are between engines, hull, comms, and weapons.

You may instead choose to improve crew quality, but it’ll cost your
crew 2 CREd and you will owe the folks that helped you improve it.
A higher crew quality refers to the quality of gear and equipment
of the crew. You’re able to take on more powerful factions on equal
footing, and can therefore handle harder jobs more easily. Not to
mention, your crew will just have nicer stuff![/hider]
