The STA Book seems to suggest the "Group" building their characters together, so I assume we'll be discussing our character builds and refining them during the early stages of the game so as to have the most "Well-Rounded" crew we can. If Star Trek teaches us anything, even a "Specialist" is, at the least, competent in most other areas.

That is correct, Saratek on the process of character building and we will be following that process.

I split Security and Tactical into two positions and added one position I hadn't asked for in the advert, which you'll see when/if the player accepts.
Those in so far are:

Chief Tactical Officer on the ship will be - Val th'Shonthoth, played by daveron
Chief Medical Officer on the ship will be - Navran Paix, played by GleefulNihilism
Operations Officer on the ship will be - Vren, played by Acathala
Chief Engineer on the ship will be - Revan, played by Saratek
Executive Officer on the ship will be - Vara Rix, as played by RossN
Flight Control Officer/Lead Helm/Conn on the ship will be - Lynette Ryan, as played by Valentha

If you've accepted you may go on over to the game Forum HERE, say hello in the OOC thread, post your bio/application in the Character thread and wait for everyone else before we begin.

They call it "session 0" but I haven't read that part of the books yet. I want to be as surprised as everyone else. You can only experience something unspoilered once. (Unless you have memory loss) also, startrek adventures has limited forms of advancement (awards, and ways to upgrade npcs or tos era early career characters into full characters) it is mostly focused on lateral progress...

I.e. your character is forced into unfamilar and uncomfortable situations, excells despite obstacles and odds, and it has a transformative effect on them changing who they are as a person . Abilities used recently are improved as older unused skills stagnate in the back of the mind dropping away to make room for the new you.

This isn't a game about min maxing, so while we will tweak our characters embracing certain things and rolling with the flow is also a valid option. Senior officers are scarce at this time and being fored to work outside your norm is how starfleet trains well rounded officers. People with a sole focus tend to be enlisted like chief O'Brien the intelligent combat engineer prepared for any situation to break out in his transportor bay or space station.
