The real flex is to stop ticking the numbers up on your Prestige trophy once the counter hits 47.

Oh no… Why did you have to say this?? Now my brain latched onto this idea and I’ll have to do this!

If so we need more mastery levels.
Can anyone with higher prestige levels confirm this:
Prestige XP Bonus Only Occurring Once

I support this!
There is multiple updates coming this year, so if I was a betting man some of these updates I’m sure will evolve around Freelancer again. I’m totally in support of the mastery levels increasing!
Plus, there’s loads more stuff they could add to 47’s Safehouse!

I get +1,000 XP Prestige Level Bonus after every mission, but only since ending the campaign I was on & switching off hardcore mode.

I just got that same bonus after a Freelancer mission. First time I’ve seen it, I believe (and that was toward the end of my campaign).

3rd Prestige Advancement now gives me 1,500 XP per level completion. When I eventually get round to the end of this grind, I’ll make a helpful comprehensive guide that explains how this works. I’m still on the trial and error fact finding stage for now! 
My biggest complaint is that Payout Objectives have had their Merces value completely unchanged. Either that is intentional or a bug but a Merces increase on all of those which aligns with Prestige Objective payout increases would certainly go a tremendous way to entice others to play this.

As something I learnt today, when you have the “Timed - Get Disguises” PO the timer you start with doesn’t count the suit as being worn. You can change back into the suit later on and the timer will reset.

This is my entire feeling every time my internet goes down.
“oop, youtube stopped. Is the internet down? … yep. Alright, let’s play some Hitm- oh right. . . Alright, let’s play some Solitaire.”

Not sure if this was a thing before the patch but I was able to conceal a bat (hf championship) back into the briefcase. I thought we couldn’t conceal bats into briefcases.

That’s a new thing, you can conceal katanas in the briefcase too. I don’t inow if it is a bug though.

Bug or not, I hope they keep it in the game. It made no sense that the katana/baseball bat could be brought into a level in a briefcase but not put back into the case after you took it out.

It was not a thing. This is something they’ve also ninja’d into the latest patch.

I restarted the Final Showdown of my recent campaign like 4 times (I am shame) because I wanted to perfect a SA/SO w/ poison run for some good cash.
So I basically played it like a main mission, knowing who my target was and where he ate from.
It was Alerted Dartmoor, and I had to make my way down from the Top Floor Balcony, past way too many Lookouts and Assassins, to the Graveyard where I could poison some food and get out!
Took me a while but I eventually did it, got away with 10K Merces payout.
Plus, I’ve finally finished my Weapon Wall, so I think I got a 20K bonus from the crate and a 30K bonus for finishing a campaign!
I am now at 150K Merces (WOW!) and so, I will fail a mission so I can get the “Lose 50K Merces at once” challenge (that I’ll probably never reach again) then get to Prestige Lv1 for some nice Merces and XP Bonus, plus letting me re-experience scrounging for weapons and makeshift solutions with the tools I have.
Side-note, Rebecca’s room has the exact same Tablet prop as the Safe Tablets, and I was pulling my hair trying to figure out why my game was bugged… nope, turns out the last one was out in the hallway in a locked cabinet. Never knew they could spawn in an enclosed objectz they’re usually on an open shelf or chair…

I know that Alt-F4 does not work now, but my question is this: What happens if there is a power outage and/ or the internet goes down or has a “hic-up”? Looks like if that ever happens some people are going to be just a little upset.

Lost Connection, Power Outages, and Crashes do not cause Mission Failures in Freelancer or Elusive Targets!
Alt+F4 now does.
However, if you turn off your internet connection, or close the game through the Task Manager, you can bypass the new Alt+F4 failure.
This has been known about and used for a while now, long before this patch.
Because of this, the punishing of Alt+F4 is less about “feature loss,” and more about Public Relations. IOI is sending us a passive-aggressive message that we are “playing their game wrong.”

Kinda weird they didn’t mention that in the patch notes. There were a few contracts based upon the inability of hiding those weapons back, which are now way easier with this change (I’m thinking of Urben’s “Corey Potter and the Sword of Pandora” in particular) :x
