Yes, I agree.
Limiting the QR to the ship it is installed on is a solution. That would be analogous to the reactors on US Carriers.
Or, as has been suggested, limit its production of supplies to a set amount.
I too dislike the micromanagement in the middle and end game. And at first I thought it would increase it significantly. Uggggg!!!!
But putting a QR on each ship would actually reduce it a bit, since one would no longer have to produce supply ships (a ship with a QR) and make sure there is a supply ship with each fleet.
