Why can't Admiralty missions tell the truth up front?

You've all been there.

You're trying to make the best use of your fleet and you're looking for that last mission that takes 20 eng 20 tac 40 sci.

You find one and you click it and then *PRESTO* ... its suddenly a 50/100/200 mission?!?!

Seriously, whats the point of even having numbers on the front if they're more often than not lies?

Its very frustrating.

A frustrating game isn't the same as a fun one.

At least on PC, mouseover on the “Event” panel of a mission will list the modifiers (+/- and potential bonus rewards).
