A recurring unexplained quantity has been spotted by a commander on about 75% of missions turned in within Elite Dangerous. This UI element does not match commodity rewards, as it becomes greyed out when the player carries no cargo. Despite community efforts, no official documentation clarifies its purpose. Speculation suggests it may connect to the Background Simulation (BGS) system, potentially reflecting galaxy morality or alignment factors. This mystery affects how players interpret mission details and could influence strategic choices in the evolving game world.
