Just found out it is a really bad idea to conduct a Flashpoint Mission with less than 8 Mech Warriors in your pool. If you get unlucky and all four of the pilots get wounded and you have to do a Consecutive Deployment you will not be able to move forward if do not have enough pilots to fill all the seats. You also will not be able to back out of the mission and will have to do a hard shutdown of the game and reload your save.
