Someone posted this over on the Steam forum, and I couldn't see that it had been noted over here.
Some salvage missions (eg Black Boxes) are always legal salvage and can be returned without fear of legal repercussions. Other salvage missions (eg. Experimental Chemicals) are always illegal salvage missions and need to be smuggled in.
The mission descriptions for them are identical. You aren't told that the Chemicals mission is illegal until you scoop them up and it says "Illegal" in your cargo inventory and/or "illicit cargo" in the bottom right corner while you're trying to dock.
Some of us prefer not to accept missions requiring criminal activity (either for roleplay reasons, or because we're terrible at smuggling, or we're not flying a good-at-smuggling ship) and would appreciate a heads-up in the mission description, like there used to be pre-2.1.
Should I file a bug report?
