Although, I do wonder if there is a way I can get my watch officer to call out range again with OLC, I know he's far too accurate and can be considered cheating, but sometimes I'm too lazy to do everything myself!

As long as you don't over-use him it's not a cheat.
Consider him to have called the QM to the bridge with a stadimeter.
If you want to take it further, wait 2 or 3 minutes after an initial sighting before asking for the closest visual contact.
But remember in the real world you can make a judgement on distances. On a computer screen you have no depth perception, and thus can't.
You either get better information than you would by using the WO.
Or, you get much worse information than you would by not using him.
There is no perfect solution. Personaly, in this case, I prefer "too good" over "too bad".
