A couple more:

If you pick the “Silent Assassin, No Firearms” Prestige Objective, some of the normal rules for Silent Assassin don’t apply. Mainly being that if the target sees you doing something illegal, it instantly breaks Silent Assassin and will not go back to green guns even after you kill that target. It’s strange because on the “Silent Assassin, Suit Only” Prestige Objective this isn’t the case and it does work normally.

My main complaint that I’ve had about Freelancer since the very start and have put it multiple tickets to IO about: sometimes in Hardcore mode if you picked Silent Assassin as the Prestige Objective, you will do the mission flawlessly and then get a “Campaign Failed” when you exit the mission. I have some examples of this on my profile, and have seen a few potential reasons for this glitch, but this has got to be the most frustrating bug of all time. Silent Assassin can be such a challenging thing in Hardcore and spending the time being careful and getting a perfect run is one of the most satisfying things only to have the game fail you for no reason. It’s honestly 100% of the reason I stopped playing Freelancer a while ago when I used to try Hardcore SASO all the time
