I am seeing a strange dialog glitch on a mission I recently published, and at least one other player has reported it to me as well. The mission in question is:
Title: "[Rom] Valley of the Shadow I"
ID: ST-HBHYVOLP6
Author: @NCC-89471
Allegiance: Federation-allied RomulanWhat's supposed to happen (as I understand it):
On ground/interior maps, when you call out one of the Away Team BOffs in a dialog box, that dialog is always supposed to go to a BOff of the designated career track (Eng, Sci or Tac) unless the player's Away Team doesn't include anyone on that track.
What's actually happening:
In this mission (and possibly others, though I've not yet seen it elsewhere), for some reason the player's Away Team
Science BOff is getting all the dialogs intended for the Away Team
Engineering BOff (in addition to the Sci BOff's own dialogs), even when the away team includes an Eng BOff.
In effect, when the Sci and Eng BOffs have a conversation it looks as though the Sci BOff is carrying both sides of it and talking to him/herself.

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

It is. I first noticed this issue right after publishing when I live-tested the mission for the first time, and another player (grifterrik23) noticed it too and brought it up in the mission discussion thread (linked below).
