[BUG] New Romulus away team replaces bridge officers (boffs)

I am currently playing as a fed.
On new Romulus during 'missions' given by the people at the different transporters, there are 'missions' which enable you to enter a new place. For example, there is a mini-mission called "New Romulus: The Power Source". The entrance is the most South West location on the map.
Basically, as I enter into new areas which are technically not part of the New Romulus map, I get to choose my away team. I have my Captain and my First Officer with me as I enter. My other boffs are replaced by the generic security team members in the away team menu.
To counter this, I X out of the away team menu that pops up. Then, I press "U", then click on "Stations" (where you can change boffs etc.). I don't actually change the boffs or anything. I simply X out of that menu and then this fixes the problem. Now, I get my Captain, my First Officer and my handpicked boffs as normal.
Of course, this 'fix' isn't much of a fix. This is only a temp solution.

When testing the loadout bug to try and rule out some proposed theories one of the things that often happened was that security personnel would replace my away team.
I doubt this is caused by loadouts themselves. I think its more likely that both ship loadouts going wrong and away teams going wrong stem from the same problem. Which is also likely to be why, even before loadouts, zoning would sometimes wipe all our bridge officer seating.
If any dev is reading this and would like to see the testing I did to try and reproduce away teams going awol check the 2nd page of the broken loadout thread.
Happens to me by time to time. It is a known bug that never was fixed (again). I reported it about 2 months ago as well. But well, i knew that this will never be fixed, as other thousands of things, but i posted since it was time ago since i had my last bug in new romulus (didnt beam down for a long time lol).
So, yes, happens to a lot of people, but since not too many people do those missions, there are not too many bug reports. And anyways, they are useless, so i guess people dont bother anymore to report bugs.
And yes, in my case i only have 1 loadout (i only have 1 loadout in almost all my toons).
No, as I said I don't believe this is caused by loadouts. I do believe that what ever causes loadouts to work erratically is the same thing which causes our away teams to go wrong.
I'm not trying to say that:
Loadouts brake away teams.
I am trying to say that:
X brakes away teams and loadouts.
The reason for this assumption being that when attempting to replicate problems with loadouts I was also able to replicate problems with away teams. There is a consistent conjunction if not a causal one.
I must have misunderstood you. Thanks for clearing that up
Interesting, did repeat for me. You are more fortunate than me.
I did that fix and almost every time that bug repeats for me.. lol. :P
