Care packages should be more interesting

I did them, Their content was just so incredibly forgettable to the point I don't really think that it's really absolutely worth considering an essential experience in the game. I just know I have every AX/guardian module available and that I sincerely never want to go through that grind again in my life time and don't think anyone else would. It was legitimately one of the things that made me stop playing for almost 7 years. PP2.0 showing how depressing Fdev is at rewarding it's players for any effort they put in (for real they think 2 years of exploration grind shouldn't be enough to get max rank lol), and Stalker 2 coming out tomorrow after a 15+ year wait since the original are basically making me suspend FC services and prep for another long hiatus.

Sorry for bumping up this thread (which was posted on 16 Nov, so few days after the release of PP2).

There are many other threads/suggestions regarding PP2 Care Packages (and their "Mini" version, or the ones gathered before R100): https://forums.frontier.co.uk/search/1775764/?q=care+packages&o=relevance

We have had to unpledge accounts (losing all ranks) to solve the problem of "too many care packages >>> crash", which is a very annoying bug.

In addition to the improvements (more raw mats, much less suit mats... different package types etc) can we have a button with "discard/discard all"?

So we can remove from the list care packages with useless content and/or avoid to have the UI crashing for too many.

Thanks

I can't even claim most of my care packages, for two reasons:

1. My backpack is full, and I can't transfer most items to my carrier due to Transaction Error. I don't have any duplicate items nor items with strange commander IDs.
2. I'm full on most mats. I even did a bunch of useless trades to get under cap, but then I played the game and did a bunch of bounty hunting and whale hunting and re-maxed on several encoded and manufactured mats.

So right now I'm not sure what to do with these care packages but leave them unopened. Maybe after I engineer my next ship I can open some, but I pretty much won't be able to open them all ever.

That's a problem most cmdrs have, overflow, max storage and bug-stocking-queue.... often i sell odyssey stuff at bartender and cross-trade mats just to free storage space to allow me to free "not-so-care packages" queue... i would like even a "discard" option just to waste less time.

If FDevs had implemented something like a "Prestige points wallet", so cmdrs can stock and spend gained "prestige" like a currency to trade for something specific, even "care packages" at this stage of PPv2 developement, at least we will not have this issue.

This would allow an easy rebalance of PP rewards (if needed), "seasonal" rotation of reward (i.e. specific events so specific rewards), random pick vs specific expensive rewards, or whatever else....

PPv2 need some care and improvement, i appreciate the good work FDevs are doing but they need to "stop for a moment" in put new things and consolidate/improve old ones.

New game mechanics are good but abandoned half-developer ones are "an issue", and i put in the list even on-food activity and Odyssey game loops, after years still feel a separate game and need a bit of love and rewamp.

just my personal 2 cents.
