Players in the Elite Dangerous Steam Community have voiced concerns about the relatively low payouts for ground missions compared to space missions. While ground combat zones offer reasonable rewards, many commanders feel that mission payouts on planetary surfaces are insufficient. This perceived imbalance may discourage engagement with ground-based gameplay, potentially limiting exploration and activity on planets. The feedback highlights a community desire for more competitive rewards to better motivate participation in ground missions.
