The Starship Overflow Bag bug has a ticket from me as well.
FYI Cryptic crew, this bug literally stops the ability of affected players to do any marks-related progression other than Doff missions for fleet marks, due to how the system awards rewards in the auto-opening boxes... My inventory is full at this point of marks boxes etc, even with your freebie extension and the ones I've paid for.
Yeah, this is pretty annoying. I don't understand why they don't just give us our marks. Half the times I'm having trouble with the overflow bag, it's because of mark packages being stuck there.
1. Here, have this mission reward box which includes marks of your choice. Marks which could've been directly added to your pool of resources where they don't take up any inventory space btw.
2. Oh, too bad, you don't have any room in your inventory due to picking up a lot of useless stuff that has no purpose whatsoever and which you only picked up so it could be discarded.
3. Let us put the item in your overflow bag then.
4. Sorry, you can't open anything else until you've taken those mark related items out of your overflow bag, which have literally no reason for being there in the first place.
5. Want to open your overflow bag? Better restart the game then
Sorry for the cynicism, but it's pretty annoying having to restart the game 3 or 4 times an hour. And this overflow bag which won't open half the times is not a new bug btw, it has been around since long before the skill revamp. Also, please stop placing mark boxes there.
Next revamp should be an inventory revamp With options to automatically delete certain loot drops, a fixed overflow bag and no more mark packages.
Mmm no mention as to what will become of the duplicate items Are the ones we found in the overflow bag (BOffs, items like shard of possibilities, Jem'Hadar Nanoenergy Cell Recipes, etc.) any different from the ones we already had? Are they safe to discard, and by doing so would we forsake the ability to ever reclaim the item again?
And the duplicated admiralty ships?

If you want to try out the fix on Tribble, copy over your affected character using arcgames.com/en/my/character/copy/sto#~,patch up Tribble (which I'm doing right now), and give it a whirl. If there's still issue, it's best to find them early, particularly as there seems to be more than just one issue with Overflow.
Edit: Nice, my 'Starship' item was gone when I logged into Tribble, others with this issue might still want to get on, just in case, though. I was able to open all the stuff piling up, and even got the bonus Marks from the PvEs I ran. Do note, I copied this char over yesterday to Tribble and confirmed the 'Starship' item was there, so it's not something sanitized in the transfer.
Just to confirm I copied my character over to Tribble today, and the fix got rid of the starship in overflow and I could open everything as normal. So we'll have to wait until tomorrow for this fix to go live.
I am unable to delete this extra ghost ship from my overflow bag. I have the same Xindi Carrier ship too. You cannot claim or delete or log out/in to see if it works. Also the text chat to empty loot doesn't work either.
From what I'm reading there was a fix on tribble. I just checked on Holodeck and I still have some duplicate items in my overflow bag. I really cannot play the game anymore as I do not have the inventory space to move the duplicates to, in order to open R&D and daily mark packages.
After the patch today, I can open boxes and reward packs in my inventory, but all the duplicated items in overflow bag are still there. Seems like there are even more now, like a couple of unique boffs such as the Breen one. So it's only half fixed, still waiting.

I don't think they intend to delete the extra items, you need to delete the ones you don't want. I, too, ended up with one of my characters getting another dose of items, including the Breen BOff. I turned the Breen BOff into a manual as you can't have more than one of those in you candidate roster, and can't move the icon in you inventory. Rest of the stuff I double-checked to see that I already had one, and then dismissed the new duplicates.

You can move over items one by one into inventory if need be, or even into your Bank directly. It's a pain, but surely you have at least one item you could discard to make room (and you could even bring it back after you're done from the Retrieve tab of the Replicator, so long as you don't beam out/down or change space maps).
I'm getting really fed up with this overflow bag problem, i've even had items go into it when i've had the space in the main bag. Cryptic is so focused on making money that they can't fix this simple problem. Remove the overflow bag, simple and give everyone a free bag slots token then let the player deal with too much loot, sorted. Wonder if these bugs will be in the xbox one and PS4 versions of the game.
I am not a complete idiot, just part of me is missing! I have Aspergers (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), I stick to the rules, if I see a glitch, I report it, if I see abuse I report it. This is me, this is how I am and cannot deviate from it to keep others happy. My characters Scott@tallon2k , Dillel@tallon2k ,Selu@tallon2k My personal site scotslad.webs.com
Will this be fixed any time soon? Two of my characters are affected and are quickly running out of inventory space with these r&d and mark boxes accumulating. One of them has an extra shard of possibilities, extra unique tribbles, an extra kobali boff, delta reinforcement beacon etc. in his overflow bag and over a dozen reward boxes waiting to be opened.
Scratch that, they ALL have duplicate items in their overflow bags, even the ones that aren't bugged.
So devs is this bug ever going to get fixed? I now have a full inventory and stash and cannot open any boxes and with the Summer event coming it just means I may miss out on the summer ship.
*BEWARE DEV SOLUTION* Boxes are *destroyed* on discard and are not reclaimable as stated, as well as many high value items. Also if you crash items are destroyed. A user has some helpful tips part way down.
You may need to just destroy prizes you were awarded during the bug prize flood, and that were overflowed to this date to fix Cryptic's error.
BUG with OVERFLOW Bag 200+ items Lukari Daily Bonus - got them instantly and cannot empty the Overflow Bag and cannot take any items from missions ets... cannot discard the also... PLS HELP!!!!!

My main also got with this inventory bug 2x duplicate admiralty ships and I see no way to remove them. :S No, I'm not talking about (1x) use ships.
Should I just wait or ask for in-game gm help?

Many thanks for the feedback
Aaand the duplicate admiralty ships? What can I do with those? To the best of my knowledge I can't "dismiss" them. :S
In-game gm ticket?

Unless the Devs one day decide to take them away, I see no reason not to keep them and use them.
