(a related problem also causes the slow down of the colony menu when you have many ground units + commanders listed)
A game where every ship that is not a fighter needs 3+ officers to function would further explode those numbers...
That does sound like a problem. And I agree that it would not be worth the extra lag.
On the other hand, I suppose if this was made an option that was off by default, then those who are willing to put up with such lag could deal with it while the rest of us pass on it.
Alternatively, perhaps someone could suggest this in the Pulsar 4X area? The aim of Pulsar is to have an "up to date fan sequel" to Aurora, right? I would imagine that it would not suffer the same lag issues.
