I had the same exact issue - my officer's old ability with the previously allocated officer skill points was visible on my officer's abilities tree. The NEW ability was also visible. There didn't seem to be a way to switch between the two.
I ended up simply re-training the original ability and the 2nd ability disappeared.
I have this same problem. My lieutenant science officer now has two tier 1 abilities (the second ability is the same as the tier 1 ability of my ensign science officer). Due to this, I cannot assign his tier 2 ability to my hotbar (it doesnt show up on the power list although it is shown on the skill tab) and his station shows the tier 1 ability in the tier 2 slot.
I submitted a bug report in game and will try Magnus' fix.
Hey, Magnus, you fixed my problem! When I retrained my TAC officer in her ORIGINAL Ensign skill, the new one became adjustable, upon which I just took all the points out and POOF, it was gone!
This is still a serious bug, though. Hopefully they'll fix it in the next patch.
Same thing happened to me just a few hours ago. I tired re training to fix but for some reason I could not get it to work.
Here is what happened (from my original thread)..
So I was adding some SP to my Lt Engineer, and later on while in battle I noticed that my reverse shield polarity power (Lt Power), had been replaced with engineering team (Ensign power). This Boff now has two ensign powers (EM to shields and engineering team) and the reverse shield polarity still shows up but it is unusable now. The thing is, I already have engineering team on my other ensign Boff.
I have gone to the power trainer to see if there was a way to fix this but as of yet I am lost. I might actually have to ditch my cruiser now and try an escort as I now have no other recourse at this time. My Lt engineering Boff is pretty much broken now.
I had some pictures but this sub forum does not allow attachments for some reason it seems.
With the other thred included looks like there are about 6 or 7 of us with the same problem. Bit of an annoyance, but at least my other science officer is fully trained up at lieutenant level now. Still, I'd like my other lieutenants skill to come back:rolleyes:
Bought a new Engineering BO but didn't like her Ensign Ground skill.
I retrained her from Weapons Malfunction I to Shield Recharge I.
I went into the skills screen, and tried to give her an extra point to Shield Recharge. I may have messed up and done this DURING the training process. It took her some time to learn it, possibly due to server lag.
Once her training was done I went back into the window and she had retained both Ensign ground skills (one top of the other). The training point I had intended to go into Shield Recharge went into Weapons Malfunction instead
When I go into the Assignments screen, both skills show up on the away team screen.
When I beam down to a planet, both skills show up on her skills bar.
Whether her AI uses both or not I cannot really say. She is definitely recharging our shields, but I am not sure what weapons malfunction looks like.

Could very well be one cause for the bug. The thing with my issue was that the Lt that has the two ensign powers was never re-trained on a different skill at the ensign level. I only retrained the Lt one, and the error occurred when I was not even at the skill trainer. One thing to note is that the last time I allocated Sp, I got the unable to train skill message. Might be related but I do not know for sure.
The issue I'm having is that I trained LT level abilities and promoted them to LT, but I can't seem to access those abilities anywhere, despite having points in them. But for one of my officers it works.
Yes,b ut I'm guessing you wont be able to use them, not unless you've got a T4/5 ship, which again I'm guessing you don't?
It's true that I can't use his space abilities, nor can I level up any of the Lt. Commander and Commander skills, however he can use all his ground abilities, even the ones he shouldn't have.

Sweeeeet! That is another bug, please report and find or start another thread about
I have 2 Lt. Space skills now and the one I wanted to use is unuseable:
This happened to me when I tried to retrain Lt rank skill one of my BO. I had not spent any points on his previous skill. I retrained him, opened the skills window, added one point, hit accept and bam! now has 2 Lt rank abilities. The orginal skill appears as having 2 points in it when I know I was just a moment ago looking at the newly trained skill.
=====UPDATE: BO fixed workaround======
Worked by training the skill I wanted a second time and the points it had in a failed attempt to fix it previously are still there.
Original Lt skill: Target Auxillary II
Trained Lt skill: Cannon Rapid Fire I
Bought another BO with Cannon Rapid Fire I and trained again. Confirmation window said something like "Cannon Rapid Fire I will replace Target Auxillary II". Now I'm back to only 1 Lt rank Space skill.
Spent some points on Cannon Rapid Fire to confirm that it would stick. After hitting Accept I still have only 1 Lt rank Space skill. Swapping him from back and forth from the Lt and Ensign Consoles and checking the P Abilities window out in space and I can confirm he's now working.

Did the same thing, but i tested both abilities by clicking on the skills next to my BO status, both abilities worked. This has exploit potential :eek:
I have this problem on my tactical officer. 2 Ensign rank skills, and on an escort ship in the 2 skill slot station I can not use his lieutenant skill as his 2 ensign rank skill take both the slots. I've tried a few things but I can't restore his skills back to normal.
i have 2 Lt's science 1 of them now has 2 Lt skills but he chooses to use the same one as my first 2 officers same skill and no option to choose which he uses frustrating and a load of points down the pan
I'm having the same problem with my Eng. Lt. two ensign abilities and one Lt. ability. I can't use the Lt. ability, even at a Lt. station, and one ensign ability is redundant because my other engineer has it.
I'm also getting the bug where one of my BO's is a commander, while I'm still a Lt. Cmdr. I've reported both bugs.
Seems to me, its just your thread, you keep responding to, to bump it.
File a bug report and move on.
Your problem is only one of about 500 they are dealing with ... they will get to it when they can, and don't expect them to send your a personal apology.
I'm having the same issue. Far as I can tell, it occurred when I trained my Lt. ability up to rank 9. Next time I looked at her skill list, she had a second ensign ability... which was the same ability and rank as my other slotted engineering ensign.
Either way, re-training my Lt. in her correct ensign ability removed the second ability.

As you can see in the screenshot, my top Bridge officer has 4 abilities because I was able to promote him to commander.

Same issue, but with Lt. Space skills on two separate officers.
Either way, re-training my Lt. in her correct ensign ability removed the second ability.
