Greater automation can make cognitive ability more important to a warship's operation. Fictional technology can therefore allow people to serve whom present-day systems cannot reliably support aboard a combat ship. Existing technological and operational limitations still constrain who can serve. The expectation is that future space warfare will depend heavily on brainpower.

Technology may widen who can serve aboard warships
Advanced interfaces could make cognitive ability more important while allowing people excluded by today's physical constraints to serve.
