Frankly, first I was scared but now it's actually not that bad once one knows what and especially when to expect. It also helps a lot, with lvl 5 academy I would be drowning in unassigned commanders without retirement. Great if I want to pick the right one, hell to get through them all

I am more worried about all the disasters that happen, all too often. The practical impact might be not as severe as retirement, but there is no way around it at all and I am simply finding it way too unrealistic at the moment. The second most common event after commander experience is always commander health update, and it is not that far behind it! I must have the unluckiest ever officer corps with them getting mauled or dying from choking on fish bones or getting run over by too eager newbie pilots. One would think military accepts only the very healthiest of the population. If that is so, I dread to think what is the state of the rest of my population, quarter of it will most likely not live long enough to see their 40th birthday!
