Если не ошибаюсь, челнок - это транспортный корабль. А DropShip это не просто корабль с грузом, это также и временная база, оборудованная тяжелым вооружением и хорошо бронированная. Так что не совсем то.
А то, что выше писали про то, что dropship может быть гражданским вас не смущает? А если глянуть сарну, то

In the
BattleTech universe a
DropShip is defined as any spaceship massing between 200 and 100,000 tons that is itself incapable of faster-than-light (FTL) travel. They essentially conduct all other aspects of space travel, including transit between planets and
Jump Points and planetary landings (hence their name). For FTL interstellar movement, they dock with
JumpShips by means of a
Docking collar.
The mass range is given in the construction rules and reflects the fact that it is more or less impossible to build DropShips which are smaller than 200 tons or larger than 100,000 tons. Since DropShips are meant to be carried by JumpShips, a Docking collar is an implied neccessity and is automatically included in the structure of any DropShip.
DropShips are the workhorse of interplanetary space travel. It is the DropShips (and occasionally their smaller cousins, the
Small Craft) that move cargo and passengers between planetary surfaces, orbits, space stations and jump points. While transport is their primary role, some have been built for special purposes and act as tugs, rescue ships, fighter carriers or even designated combat DropShips. Accordingly, a wide and diverse variety of DropShip types exist.
Even though many DropShips serve as military spaceships, naval terms such as "Corvette", "Destroyer", "Cruiser" etc. are never applied to them; these are exclusively used for true
WarShips, i.e. the huge Combat JumpShips that outclass DropShips by an order of magnitude (typically massing several hundred thousands or even millions of tons).
Фактически dropship это транспортный корабль с определенным тоннажем, цель которого транспортировка, все остальное так, до кучи, и военным кораблем фактически не является, даже когда воюет, военные корабли это Warship и подклассы корвет, фрегат, крейсер и т.д.
