hey Panzergranate you requested some designs for some ships. the Assault Shuttle Carrier is an option and i designed an assault transport myself, after i finished the transport and right before you requested one.
the assault transport is the standard transport with added disruptor cannons, to drain the shields of the target and then beam the marines in to take over the ship.
the Assault Shuttle Carrier is based on the assault transport, with resized hangar deck and two more disruptor cannons, to clear the direct forward path for the assault shuttles and even drain the shields of ships.
hope ya like my interpretation of these types of ships.
the heavy caravelle pics will follow soon
