Wow. Thanks KaleunMarco and propbeanie for the swift and detailed response! You have, indeed, identified and pointed me to the correct solutions.
It sounds like KaleunMarco's mod does the bulk of what I need it to do; while I can edit the files for the petty officer limit, I'm not sure if the current limits are "realistic" and am happy to leave them where they're at.
A quick question as to KaleunMarco's mod: can that be applied to an existing career? I'd hate to have to start over. The localization file shouldn't cause any issues. The larger equipment and mission fix I'm more skeptical about. Honestly, getting rid of those Australia missions (and not taking the hit for failing them) is top of my list.
I can live with the UI/mission issue. Not a huge deal.
Thank you both!
