A recent player report highlights growing dissatisfaction with mission payouts in Elite Dangerous, focusing on a data delivery mission from the Bubble to Colonia that offers just 2 million credits. The player called the reward "ridiculous" given the distance and effort involved, questioning whether developers might be trolling. This complaint underscores broader community concerns about the mission economy, where 90% of missions reportedly offer poor returns that fail to justify the time investment. Players worry that low profitability undermines enjoyment of new updates and the game’s long-term engagement.
- Mission pay often does not match effort, especially for long-distance tasks.
- Community feedback stresses need for better economic incentives to sustain player interest.
