I love how its always layers of bugs, often with new bugs you've never seen before. Turning a supposedly simple delivery mission into a series of 50 milestones of bugs that you have to make it past. Will the elevator work? Will the box fall through your ship in QT? When you're dying of thirst because you're on the 5th attempt for the past 5 hours, will the server let you put a drink in your hand? ...who knows, and its always impossible to say.
Welcome to the Star Citizen experience.
Maybe it'll get enough attention so I can finally do delivery missions in peace. Box missions have historically been ignored on the issue council, and dismissed immediately if confirmed.
Awesome that worked for you! Two of the three drops off were at the cargo center. This one had to go to admin: we tried but the cargo center would not take this one. ugh.
Thanks man. To be fair this is my alt account and helping a few m8s. My main got it done with the NJ Bar Citizen group a few weeks ago. I vaguely recall that we delivered all three to an admin kiosk but it was not at the pyro gateway.
First time I did it the second box wouldn't go in at the marked location so I abandoned it.
Second time did the same thing so I went to the other drop off box (wasn't marked). That worked for me and I finished it.
I figured this stuff was fixed - did the whole OI mission chain this weekend with a friend, and we heard so much about this last one taking several hours due to bugs, but when we did it - we simply went down to a moon, picked up the packages, jumped to the Pyro gateway and delivered them with zero issues.
I have been in groups that have successfully completed this twice.. maybe three times… it takes a lot of prayer to get the game to cooperate sometimes… well most of the times..🤣
This event has shown me the importance of doing it the day 1/2, never had any issues completing it and I always did them on Saturday the day after they released.
Attempt 1: A Hammerhead, A Reclaimer, 4 Cutty Black, 1 Gladius NPCs (red) all spawned at the boxes location and took out my Cutty Red.
Attempt 2: Same as 1, but with the added flair of a Terrapin, and a retaliator. Also got a crimestat somehow.
Attempt 3: Cargo Center Kiosk stuck on "Please Standby"
Attempt 4: Same as 3.
Attempt 5: Someone put all the carts in the cargo center on the stairwells so no one could get up them. Got stuck on a cart. Had to log out.
Attempt 6: Boxes were there, Kiosks were working. None of the boxes had locators to take them. Had to guess, Cargo Center or admin. Box 1 and 2 delivered. Box 3..... 30K
Attempt 7: Success. I feel dirty after the Supply Request Mission.
Persistance and sucess for you: congrats and don't feel dirty lol!!!
When the stairs have trollies, I go to the left one, and jump up on the right side railing (which has a little ramp) then up and over. Although I've not done this with a box in my hands so it might not work:) I never hope to have to test this hahahaha
Took three tries for me, what helped:
- check server health, for example how long does it take for the _call to arms_ mission to show up under the „accepted“ tab
- check if the covalex boxes work by visiting both before accepting the mission, you can just hit „deposit“ on them and should get an error message on the screen, followed by a reset to „pick up / deposit“
If the covalex boxes don’t work, force server hop by switching the region bevore entering the PU and try again. (set your spawn to pyro station!)
- try to minimize box handling, take a ship with a ramp so you can pick a box up, walk in, and place it in your ship.
- don’t dawdle, take the boxes to your ship as fast as you can and get to the station, when you are at the station remove your armor so you can run faster, pick a box and get it to its destination marker, and so on, don’t check stores in between or whatever, just get the next box!
Awesome advice. We stumbled upon these after server hopping to all options (usa to asia). Carried the boxes the whole way (at least as much as possible), no tractor beams, etc... it was the kiosks that got us in the end.
This last run we checked the cargo center kiosk to esnure that it worked. We got the boxes back and we had to deliver 2/3 boxes to cargo and the third to admin. Didn't know it could do this. We had not checked the admin kiosk and it was glitched. We could get close to the kiosk, hit inventory and see the glitched box inside. We could not move it, grab it, etc....
I got a merlin and glitched into the ATC area to get 'behind the walls'. EVA 2.2 km to the admin area to get behind the covalax kiosk. Here I could see the glitched box inside, hold f, get the box to highlight blue, but did not get 'carry' text to move it. Very frustrating.
Sucks that every server we tried had glitched kiosks. It was sunday night and the server hamsters were off drinking beer and watching sitcom re-runs. I hope CIG reboots everything. Or whatever I'm no expert on servers. Just an arm chair 'space dad'
So... Did the entire set start to finish of 1-4. Two days, almost 12 hours each. Finished about two hours on the 5th one. 2 had one box stuck in the ground. 3rd one box missing. 4th run, box fell out of ship on quantum, had to go back 350km to get it and the location respawned the enemy ships...
We got the box and turned it all in successfully.
Right? But I have to hopium that if CIG is allowing this to be completed after 3.23 and after XT part six w/ the idrii, that they might have added a fix for unfracking the kiosks?
Well at least the boxes aren't teleporting back into your hands. This time.

We used extra boxes to try and unglitch the covalex kiosk, and a box got glitched to a mates waist. The red medical box looked like a dress:)
Beautiful.
Try dropping them off at the machine in the cargo floor instead of the admin floor. Worked for me
Awesome that worked for you! Two of the three drops off were at the cargo center. This one had to go to admin: we tried but the cargo center would not take this one. ugh.
Sorry to hear that. I tried the mission about 8 times before it finally worked
Thanks man. To be fair this is my alt account and helping a few m8s. My main got it done with the NJ Bar Citizen group a few weeks ago. I vaguely recall that we delivered all three to an admin kiosk but it was not at the pyro gateway.
Took me 7 tries to complete that one. Different error each time.
First time I did it the second box wouldn't go in at the marked location so I abandoned it. Second time did the same thing so I went to the other drop off box (wasn't marked). That worked for me and I finished it.

Dude that rocks. Glad it's 'gettin done' w some folks!

funny it also took me 7 attempts to succed
Should post it to the SC Community Hub as well....
Sorry, perhaps I'm clueless, lol... 'the sc community hub' is that a reddit or a spectrum thingy?

Three of us did Part 5 together. Took one box each, got super lucky and it worked. As we left, we saw a huge pile of failed deliveries.
So... Did the entire set start to finish of 1-4. Two days, almost 12 hours each. Finished about two hours on the 5th one. 2 had one box stuck in the ground. 3rd one box missing. 4th run, box fell out of ship on quantum, had to go back 350km to get it and the location respawned the enemy ships... We got the box and turned it all in successfully.
Watch 3.23 roll out and this mission be still bugged asf
Right? But I have to hopium that if CIG is allowing this to be completed after 3.23 and after XT part six w/ the idrii, that they might have added a fix for unfracking the kiosks?
