Similarly it'd be sorta neat to be able to ship troops on cargo vessels; say, give it the same morale degradation over time as shipping them in drop pods, but without the counter-advantage of being able to combat-drop them.
Imagine ground toopers being packed into makeshift bunk areas inside big open cargo containers along with all their gear and vehicles. . . not exactly ideal, but it'll do in a pinch!
Hell, why not allow the same thing with fighters too? Run their maintenance clocks while they rattle around inside freighters getting shuttled from one ground installation to another.
