Admirality System: Displayed Payouts arent what actually pays out

edited November 2015 in Duty Officer System and R&D
So I finish a mission and the box will say One reward whereas In reality it pays another. And yes, I know its a bonus weekend, but sometimes the depicted payouts are of multitudes higher than received. Allow me:

In the following pic, you see that this toon has achieved Level 5 in Tour of Duty with a displayed payout of 4,878 Campaign XP and 20,007 CXP

In the end I only get paid out 2,376 Campaign XP for this toon when the mission is cashed in:

The same thing for a KDF campaign, the same things in the same order - 3,293 for the KDF campaign:

The payout - 693 campaign XP - a huge difference:

Is it the multiplier bug that has been inherited from the Doff system? IS it simply "a display issue"? Are missions actually counting ship rarity to actually do something as far as displayed payout but not actual payout? Whats the dilio?

Thanks!

    If you have a "daily bonus" active at the time you open the window, the daily bonus is applied to the display of every mission, but when you claim, the missions pay appropriately...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Interesting...that certainly follows...so let let me ask you this - in the current state, it would behoove someone to select the currently displayed HIGHEST PAYOUT mission then, correct, as to receive the bonus?

    The daily bonus is a fixed value, so it doesn't matter which assignment rewards you accept first.

    I'm starting to think that not displaying the daily bonus at all is the better choice here, as we don't have the option to update rewards on the fly without causing severe performance issues.

    If it's a fixed value, how does that explain the differing numbers shown? Shouldn't the point differential be identical?

    I would be in support of this. You see 7 missions that each show 2k+ of Campaign XP, yet only one actually gives that much.

    I know it's only a display issue (daily XP is meant as just that: once per day), but it seems to be a confusing-enough visual issue that the best course of action is to not show it.
