Oh maybe you discard cards from deck for treasure costs but they're not counted as treasure for the purposes of scoring victory? Like live crew members are technically BIOMASS, and they can technically work to fire up the 'voracious cloud cannon ' that eats the metal from hulls but conveniently has a distaste for cargo and systems. You don't bank that biomass for endgame, but you did just chew through the enemy frigate's hold and they're now bleeding treasure caches every time they get rocked in combat.
