Currently I have a lvl 1 academy.
Leader totals: R1: 150, R2: 50, R3: 17, R4: 5, R5: 2, R6: 1
I have been using: R1&R2 Retire on age 46 or anytime if health fair; R3 retire on 51 or health poor, R4 etire on 56 or health poor, R5+ retire mainly due to health.
The results have been as you can see a smallish officer pool but the advantage is that a lot of the senior officers are young, most are healthy and generally all of them are skilled. Clears out the deadwood in the R1 and R2 pool before they can get promoted just for being there. I am running into a manning problem on the ships though since there is a limited amount of R3 officers to go around. Time wise it is not so bad, I check 2-3 times a year and that works out good. I just hit retire and paste in "Is granted a time in service discharge."
In order to automate this you would need to select for each rank retirement criterial based on age, health status, and if you wish this to apply to govenors. Teams under 4.0beta do run into a problem.
