Since his mod does include Flotilla work, along with ship renaming, then I would say "no, you would have to start a new career". If you just include only the "Data \Campaigns \Campaign" files, you would get most of the translation stuff. As for the "hit" from not completing a mission assignment, there is no real "hit" per se. You just do not earn the renown points, which on the average in Dark Waters is less than 200 points. That for the most part, is less than one ship. A DD is worth about 140, while a Northampton CA is worth 500. Small merchants are like the DD, while the large ones are like the Northampton... just sink a couple of ships and you're "even". No penalty involved in ignoring orders in SH4, though following orders is usually an easy way to "earn" 150-300 renown points...
