Can troop transfer bays on one ship transfer their ground forces to drop modules located at other ship (in the same space or even its hangar)?
I got an idea the drop carrier could load the forces to the dropship and send it out. One Zirconium should just fit in one Zinnia.
This was, once I get necessary tech, same carrier can be used with a fast bording dropship instead of this basic one.

The exact size of Zinnia is 625. Would it still fit or is exact size used only for fighters?
