Ditto, completely locks now.... Known issue, that is being ignored...

Does it lock up forever, or does it just take several minutes to load up everything from the server?

But yeah, either way it's bad and ought to be fixed.

Meanwhile, remember to collect your care packages before there are hundreds of them.

Yupp a fix would be nice. I can still access my care packages, but i'm only rank 188 in powerplay and afraid to rise further, which will end up in this bug. Wish one could at least discard partially used up care packages to keep the numbers low.

They fixed collecting raw materials using the ship's flak and limpets, but one has to go through the care packages individually to see what is left in partially used up packages, sometimes i feel like I've ended up in some weird sado-maso show

It goes through a couple of stages, one where you can still claim a single pack before being soft locked, and then a final satge where simply opening the care package screen locks you out instantly.

Presently pursuing Powerplay progress pretty pointless.

Opening up the right panel and selecting Holo-me or Engineers etc will get out of the soft-lock. Nothing you can do about the care packages though.

Doesn't unpledging or changing pledge work? Or did I miss read?

I still think that when you get to the limit of care package storage it should go to the oldest package being discarded to make room for the newest one.

Wish they'd go back to the drawing board on this. Instead of care packages have the power give you credit (not credits, this is something else) that you can use to requisition materials on demand. Same result, you get materials, no boxes getting bugged.

Why would Commanders with Billions of Credits and a Fleet of Ships need Care packages anyway? Just something Hot from the Soup Kitchen would do.

The Soup Kitchen is probably a feature of a different power.

care packages should be useful.
Free cosmetics would be nice.
