[V6.6.0 Experimental - Geoscape] When trying to send skyhawk to soldier extraction mission, soldiers that show as on mission cause crash when replaced

[Ascylon]

Description: When trying to send the skyhawk on the soldier extraction mission, three sergeants show as on mission in the send dropship screen. I figured this was a bug at first but obviously that means the three soldiers that are on the mission (maybe make it a bit clearer for the slower people like me that you can only bring 5 soldiers for that particular mission if possible :)), but when you double click on them and try to replace them with soldiers from your barracks, the game crashes.

I did notice that it was alluded to in the mission briefing, but I never click on that button on the mission launch screen, I only see those once I reach the crash sites (just thinking that important information like that could perhaps be visible on the mission launch screen already).

Attached is a save file for replication (just try sending the skyhawk on the mission, then double click on any of the "on mission" soldiers, click on a replacement and the game crashes) and the crash report. bug_report_2025-09-05-23h29_st_6.6.0_unhandled_exception_1.zipuser_day_17_manual_save-2.json

I had a similar thought, when I first started this mission, it only dawned on me after the mission started, and the non useable places on the aircraft, were reserved for the soldiers that were already at the mission site, it would be nice if this concept, could be made at the start of this mission.

Thanks for the report, we'll get it fixed
