Last night I had my first encounter with a smuggler and things were going pretty well until i earned a badge in the middle of the mission. While I love getting badges and the big screen popping in to tell me how awesome I am, I am not fond of the fact that while this was happening the customs lizard walked right up to me and took my contraband and there wasn't a thing I could do about it.
I'm wondering if it's possible to set things so that if a badge or level is earned during a smuggling run or a race or what have you that they hold off on announcing it across your playable area until after the mission is completed (or failed).
