No i willl not start an argument (I’m currently having 4 big ones at the same time!) But man, seriously! Alt+f4 is like the only thing that made Freelancer bearable and that’s before the challenges, mastery and Hardcore

BIG mistake in my opinion, this won’t end well

However despite all those good news, removing the ALT+F4 possibility is a big mistake in my opinion, and the major black point in this update:

Alternate Function Four

“When playing Freelancer, quitting the game through the menu or by the use of Alt+F4 on keyboard will result in a Mission Failed status upon restarting the game.”

This interesting rogue-like mode challenges the player on improvisation and one-timed events, but there are so much things that could go wrong during the game (bugs, crashes, NPCs seeing through walls as examples) that not having the ability to cancel this and auto-failing the mission will be a big problem, especially when some of your items stored in house are removed, as well as your merces for not always fair reasons.

I think you should enable the possibility for anyone to be able to exit the game without registering unfortunate progress, as lots of problems could occur while playing.
