Evacuation Glitch with Larger than Normal Squad Sizes
I noticed an issue regarding evacuations that happened when I had mods allowing for larger than normal squad sizes (i.e. more than 6). I had my squad size at 7 because I felt that 8 was just too OP at Commander difficulty and on these mission types, whenever I would play them with my 7 dudes and the 4-5 rookies spawned in and I needed to evac, I'd only be able to evacuate like 9 units (including the VIP if one is present) and everyone else who happened to remain would essentially be stuck there.

The game gave me error messages (can't remember exactly what they were, sorry) that seemed to indicate that the game relied on some integer variable to dictate how many units could evac and that I had exceeded the threshold for that variable or something, but who really knows.

I know it probably seems weird that I am having an issue with TOO many soldiers surviving to need evac, but it is an issue. I essentially have to get everyone that isn't a rookie back into the shuttle and then systematically kill the rookies as fast as possible.

Any thoughts? Anyone know of a mod that increases the evac zone or whatever? Ideas?
