Prisoner boxes from admirality

penclrtist

Game allows you to open prisoner admirality boxes even if the brig is full. Prisoners go into overflow bag and cannot be retrieved individualy. Take all works but only if there is more then one item in bag (take all doesnt show with just one item). Also dismissing them directly from overflow bag gives no reward (1 dil, 10 recruit cxp).

Not trying to be sarcastic here but why not only open as many as you have room for in the brig ? I've got one toon that generally has 50+ boxed prisoners at all times. I unbox a couple and do the DoFF mission, when I find a Fleet/Armada project that will use prisoners, I unbox however many are needed for the project and donate them (BTW, Fleet projects will take prisoners and DoFFs from your overflow, I do it all the time). I keep my brig mostly empty because DoFF missions that award a prisoner can not be turned in if your brig is full, having a huge box of prisoners is a wonderful thing as they are always right there and easy to access when you need a few but don't take up brig space.

It's not very difficult time consuming to check how many open brig slots you have and then only unbox that many prisoners at a time.

How I do it has no bearing on the fact the bug exists. Thanks for your input.

I find that Prisoners/Colonists can easily be retrieved from the Overflow Bag if you first close the Doff interface and re-open it. Also, close the Inventory and Overflow Bag and re-open them.
Should that not work, typing "/LootCancel" into the chat box should force it to work again. (Don't include the quotes, obviously.)

I have some toons that have 100+ boxed prisoners. I open as needed.

Overflow bag has always had weird issues like that.. type /lootcancel and see if you can pick them out one at a time after that.
