No, I'm not assuming that computers won't be more efficient than computers are today. Of course they will. What I'm saying, is that a computer-directed ship won't be better than a human-directed ship, with computers in a supporting role.

I am also following much sci-fi in this. None of the sci-fi I am familiar with has computers superior fleet commanders to biologicals.

Sci-fi is not realistic at all. There will come a point when AIs are as intelligent as biologicals. We will eventually be able to make artificial computers that function exactly like the human brain, if not more effecient. Such technology will definitely come long before any technology to establish a colony in another star system.
