During Riftborn questline where you decide whether to kill, recruit or have the Virus reunite with it's people, recruit have you, as the name suggests, get the Virus as a hero. Meanwhile, kill and reunite gives you one of two system improvements, but...

For killing the Virus, you get a system improvement that gives +10 approval, that costs 4 dust to maintain. 

But reuniting the Virus with it's home gives an improvement that yields +15 approval, that also costs 4 dust to maintain.

Not to be like that, but isn't this quest rather weird? Sure, the quests have varying difficulty, but like this it's hardly a decision for which to take unless you absolutely want a hero.

Just to mention it, there was a small problem after taking the hero too.  The next questline I followed needed him to be on a planet with a Trade Headquarters.  I put him on a planet and built the HQ.  It wouldn't trigger as done until I removed and reassigned him.

Can confirm it, happened to me too.
