[REL] Even More Crew Commands through Dialog

Hmm, sounds great. What kind of dialogs are you planning to add?

There is one limitation you should know about (in case you don't already), the dialog menu only supports up to 9 entries (that is including the Exit dialog entry at the bottom). This is why I have placed a lot of things under sub-menus for CE like "Engine control" and "Depth control". If it reaches 10 entries in the root dialog, it breaks down and all the dialog options jump together and only Exit dialog becomes clickable. Right now CE has 8 entries in total, but during campaign a ninth one is spawned (the story dialog about his wife etc.). This means that adding any more dialog entries to CE is impossible.

Unless, I can put the special abilities into another sub-menu as well. I haven't tried this, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. This would provide space for 2 extra entries in the root dialog.
