These seem like very good changes, with the exception of the 3* auto-lock. It seems very unnecessary given that we can now mark combat missions with a soft lock. I'm hoping that it is tweaked such that a) it only applies when the other territory is < 3* and b) to deployment only.
I especially like the "soft lock" on missions. Good visual aid, it's not absolute, and everyone can see those that went against the grain. Communication was the weak spot of TB, and these simple additions will help immensely, even before the addition of Order messages.
Extended Stats are also very welcome. Our guild record keeper will be very happy.
I'm hoping my role as officer will go from herding cats to herding cattle now :)
