Should do. I only had 4D shields rated 222 and managed to survive, although I did take some damage. Next trip I'll probably upgrade the PP and the shields to 5A, or add boosters, or both.

I only question the 5A thrusters. Wouldn't 6D work better, due to optimal mass ratings, and increase your jump range? They may not be as hearty, or take heat damage that A rated wouldn't, but with all those AMFUs, and the ability to restock them, it would be easy to keep them maintained (also, since they can repair each other, and be restocked, why 3 AMFUs?).
Isn't a general rule that any higher class module will out perform any lower class module? But with FD always changing things, that may not apply anymore.
Oh, I'd also take a second SRV, especially if you like driving around on planets. If you are very careful, you can probably get buy with one, but they have been known to explode for no apparent reason.
