A commander has raised concerns about the 'First Footfall' bonus in Elite Dangerous exobiology exploration missions. Despite scanning many undiscovered planets and receiving confirmations for first footfalls, the commander was surprised by the relatively low payout at Vista Genomics after selling data worth 14 million credits at Universal Cartographics. This discussion has sparked 20 comments on the Commander network, suggesting that other players may also be unclear about how these bonuses work and how rewards.
