Powerplay Escape Pod powerplay task not working

I have a powerplay task that says "Collect occupied escape pods and damaged escape pods from Shana Bei and deliver them to 36 Andromedae".

I went ti Shana Bei, collected some escape pod and then went to 36 Andromedae, where I handed them in. No merits and no advancement in the powerplay progress. I have tried:
  • Collecting both occupied and damaged pods.
  • Handing them into the power contact and the search and rescue contacts.
  • Using different orbital stations in the 36 Andromedae system.
Still no merits. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

You won't get merits for it because Escape Pod merits are disabled, but it should still count for task completion if you hand either sort in to the Power contact.

Provided you're pledged to Pranav Antal, that should work.
(If you're pledged to someone else, there's a problem here)

That is strange. I had an undermining with escape pods task this week and mine worked fine.

If you take Black Boxes / Wreckage Components from that system back to one of yours, do you get merits for those?

This is strange but on my map (im obviously Antal) Shana Bei has no influence over/with 36 Andromedae.
We are reinforcing 36 Andromedae which would normally mean collecting salvage and pods then handing into stations in the same system.

It is Elite Dangerous.
I have successfully turned in occupied escape pods for credit in a weekly task since they got turned off for merits, so one out of one on that. I've had many of the other tasks (exploration data, eliminate opposing powers, biological data) simply not work though, with some working one week and not another. Other than the initial 5 to "unlock" the power, I have had 1 or 2 non functional ones each cycle, so I wouldn't be surprised if yours is just bugged.

Hi Ultra Fluffy,

You must hand the pods collected over to the powerplay contact rather than the search and rescue contact. Hope it helps!

Tried both. Neither increased the count. I appreciate the merits won't increase because they have been disabled, but it appears that the count on the powerplay page has also been disabled (Or I'm doing it wrong!!).

Hi.
bit of a necro however I have handed in a bunch of escape pods as well. a mix of ejected from destroyed ship, and collected from powerplant wreckage both occupied and damaged. handed in to power play contact and checked I am in the correct system.... and none of them have registered towards the 11 I have to get.

any ideas?

thanks
