Overflow Bag: Unexpected Gifts

mike03uc

So, I noticed an R&D materials reward pack was sitting in my inventory after a Republic Campaign admiralty assignment. I attempted to open it, but it wouldn't open, telling me I had items in my overflow bag. This was odd, as I had plenty of open inventory slots. I opened the bag, and lo and behold, I found nearly every Doff I had ever discarded. Not that I'm complaining, as one of them I'd dismissed by accident, but it was odd. Has anyone else experienced this?

How many of those duty officers were unique duty officers?

I also had a few unexpected gifts. I was just trying to open a Borg Mark Package
And not just Duty Officers. Or rather, I didn't even notice any Duty Officers:
- The Breen Bridge Officer from the Deferi Arc
- The Reman Bridge Officer from the Romulan Featured Episode Arc
- The Kobali Bridge Officer
- An 8 hour Skill Bonus reward
- Diverse Shuttle (non-Combat) Pets I got rid off because I don't use them (Class F, Danube Runabout, Peregrine Attack Fighter, Delta Class Shuttle)
- Horta combat pet
- Cat Non-Combat Pet
- Frostet Boots
- Nanopulse Lirpa
- Diverse Tribbles (Gamma Quadrant, Fluidic Space, Fleet, Radan, Borg)
- Azura Personal Comm Code (I now have two in my inventory)
- Scorpion Fighters Device
- Paradox Converter
- Encoded Data Receiver
- Cryo Grenade
- Biothermal Dampener

The last 2 are* actually still in my overflow bag, since I didn't have enough inventory space.

Affected Character was Ridlluc@mustrumridcully on Tribble (a few weeks old copy from Holodeck). I can also see something similar on Delilah@MustrumRidcully (with a different set of items). I guess the other characers will have similar results.

Oh, related with that might be that the Mark packages were not automatically opening. I figure the package was from the Borg Red Alert I was just doing, and not something in the overlow bag. Not sure if that is general behaviour yet.


*) oops, were. I already went and cleaned up the inventory. Oops. Try Delilah instead, if you need an affected character on Tribble. I won't touch her.

Non specifically and non accurately, there was something regarding overflow bag and compensation of some related loses (dropping in inventory) in recent release notes... I think crypticspartan "hinted" toward that.

<going to re-read to get the info accurately>

Update: this was from 7/4/2016 non tribble specific (general) notes
http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9903363

• Resolved an issue where some Unique items, primarily Duty Officers, would be deleted when map transferring while the item was in the Overflow bag.
  • An example of this would be the newest Duty Officer reward ‘Neal Falconer’.
  • For the players who experienced this issue and are blocked from reclaiming the Unique Duty Officer because the system believes it’s in the player’s inventory, upon logging in, a new version of this item will be in the character’s inventory.

Possibly fitting the description?

Yes.
This seems like it is doing a bit too much - and I really wonder how it does remember all those items. And some of the "items" - like the bridge officers, the Azura comm codes or the Fireworks - I actually still own.

Maybe it is not a serious issue, since you can just discard the items. (Unless they are turned again then? Haven't relogged yet to see if this happens repeatedly). But it might require some more explicit communication to the players then.

May just have encountered a RELATED issue/bug, so I add this post here.

First, noting that not always we know what we had before in overflow bag and what we should have or from which time/situation or where we did get other rewards such as civilians/prisoners' packs.

Second, due to some specific issues, I could not take a screenshot now, so will try my best to describe what I'm experiencing.

Third I may not explain things well (or know the details accurately, as said)


Situation: On space (Kassae Sector). Seeing 8 prisoner's packs on inventory, probably from admiralty. Additionally, getting a refugy and a trader on the same day before, potentially raising again the roster allegedly into 100 or 99/5/5/20 totally full or soon to be full settings.

Opening prisoners packs at this stage, not being aware to the above. Unsure of overflow bag status just before starting.

When 7 prisoners left, getting a warning "your inventory full".
Overflow bag at this point contains a prisoner and while trying to take it from the overflow bag, I am becoming aware to the situation. Up to now, OK

Inventory has many places at this point. (~13, unsure if it was exactly 13 then, but at least 12.)

Now to the problematic part
Trying to take the prisoner by pressing on overflow bag and pressing take, it's impossible: "Inventory Full", so I delete prisoner.
"Inventory Full" still.
Deleting the new common refugy and more common prisoners from the roster and brig as applicable.
Still "Inventory Full".

My only option is probably to discard this unknown origin (probably though from prisoners' pack as describe above) prisoner despite:
1. Having place on the inventory
2. Having 99/5/5/17 setup on roster at this stage so it's not full - neither for prisoners nor for general roster, beside for active doffs.

Not that I care about those common doffs, but there may be some issue.



EDIT: It was a fresh copied char from after the 7/4, IIRC, for a character unaffected (knowingly) by the issue. This char will be deleted (it has to be refreshed for various reasons again) so will not be able to further report if the issue was solved after session 11.5.

There is only one thing in my overflow bag - Starship. Sure wish I knew what it really is, cause it shows "Flight Deck Offset #" on three lines when I hold the mouse over it.

I mean, is there a three bay carrier in the works?

Character is Tevelus@orionsrule

Ok ok ok, don't get excited folks. The only other thing it shows is any skill, trait or doff effect that affects only pets. Nothing that says it is actually a ship. But man, did I jump when I saw Flight Deck three times.
