I might be in the minority, but I like the ship lock since they gave us the combined fleet mechanic. Considering the context of the event, I think it was appropriate. Yes, this means you need to plan your sorties now, not just throw random compositions and hope one sticks. The combined fleet mechanic itself is too broken if you're given access to all yours ships whenever you want. Sure you could buff the mooks to compensate for that, but I'm not sure the scaling would work well with RNG. I mean look at the AL operations, trolls nodes are painful (seriously, that Nu-class gave no shits when it came to hitting hard).

Granted, a little more information prior to the start of the event would've save people some despair.
