Not at all. It's pretty ridiculous once you get all the officers decorated with it, and enough petty officers - you end up with a handful of crew that can run the whole boat without a break - and as you say it does tend to put your crew on a "track" towards becoming uber men.

On the other hand, I stick to awarding the GCG because it's better than the alternative - having to micromanage each compartment. My rule of thumb is to try to decorate based on experience points for all medals, starting with officers.

But there are quite a few around here who refuse to give the gold cross award.
