PP2.0 Weekly Task Cannot Be Completed
- Thread starter Hibiki54
- Start date
yeah, it is a bug. And plenty of threads and posts about this already.
I wish I had one of those, would be fun to see if I could make it complete 
Though I suppose I can try and complete my two Odyssey-only missions ... in my Horizons commando

Add this to the list.
Same for me, I’ve just been able to complete the weekly assignment that was previously impossible
Here's one of the weekly tasks:
It says I need to collect escape pods in an acquisition system.
Problem is, there are no systems labelled as "acquisition" on the galmap. The closest thing you can find there is called "expansion".
OK, so I jumped to this system:
Is it an "acquisition" system? Should be, as far as I can tell. It's not called as such, but neither is anything else on the galmap.
Anyway, I collected 9 occupied and 2 damaged escape pods there.
The description of the task says I need to deliver them to a fortified or stronghold system within range of the source system.
What range? Could you not be more specific, fdev?
Anyway, there were 2 stronghold systems nearby, so first I picked the one with the stronghold carrier.
Sold one escape pod to the power contact on the carrier - no merits, no task progression. Maybe the system is too far?
Who knows, so I jumped over to the other stronghold system, the one without a stronghold carrier. This one was only 30.32 Lys from the source system, so I guessed it was close enough to qualify as "within range". Sold the pods to the power contact in the station, to no avail. No merits, no task progress.
So what's the problem here?
Is an "expansion" system not the same thing as "acquisition"? If so, why are there no systems labelled as "acquisition" on the galmap?
Is a system 30.32 Lys from the source system out of range? If so, why is there no mention in the mission description of what exactly the term "within range" is supposed to mean?
Is there a bug here? Well I would not be surprised tbh.

And another one:
But there's only one orbital spaceport, Land Mines has no holo adverts:
there are 2 terrestrial ports, but the holo signs on those don't have limpet ports for hacking.

As far as I understood from this guide on Youtube (thanks to @Buur for mentioning that guide) the first couple of states are summarized as acquisition systems (expansion, contested, unoccupied as well if your "power started to gain control").
Regarding the range I would assume that these could be the systems shown within the sphere when activating "tactical mode" (was it called like that? Not remembering ...)?
I could be wrong, though ... perhaps just give it a try?
If I got it right, then you only need to do it once, not every week. I guess these tasks might also be changing each week - if that's correct, then just play as you have fun, then complete them in a week when they look ok for you?
Yeah that was what I thought, still I did not get any merits.
Probably it's another bug then.
For starters you're looking in the wrong tab. You want the second Powerplay tab;
But the easiest way is to select the task from your weekly list and go to the "view in maps option", which auto filters the map and shows you all the systems where it applies.
Entirely possible, yes. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it, it took me ages to realise the second tab was there too, and yet it will be the one you probably use more often.
Yes, it is a sublte UX inconsistency bug some people noted but not reported properly, nobody opens a bug entry and it will remain like this forever.
