This one isn't designed to haul troops, but neither is it a non-combat vessel.
Tell me what you think.

==Overview:==
The Bison support dropship was developed in response to the Star League's
request for a new, multi-use ship. The ship had to be compact, relatively
well-armed and -armored, and must possess a replaceable, variable-function
specialty bay.
The end result was a rather impressive support ship.
==Capabilities:==
The Bison lacks the capacity to carry combat troops in its' default
configuration, but can gain the ability to carry vehicles or infantry with the
correct bay configuration (the dimensions of the modular pod prohibit the use
of 'mech cradles).
Bisons are normally deployed during the consolidation phase of planetary
assaults, hauling materiel such as ammunition or prefabricated buildings
inside the cavernous cargo bays. The modular pod in such situations is usually
a large medical bay or an extra cargo bay. Other possible pods include
scientific modules for research, or extra living quarters. Some Bisons have
been reported being equipped with a large ejectable pod filled with
explosives, essentially turning the dropships into oversized bombers.
