im assuming you can just get bigger drop ships.

There may be room for several more, but maybe the dropship can't support more than that weight. Although now that the armored vehicle only uses 1 slot, It doesn't make sense 1 of that having the same weight than an average soldier.

Looking at the dropship_tier1.json in Xenonauts2/assets/assets/xenonauts/template/strategy/aircraft/profiles/xenonaut/ I see several values equal to 9. Change 'em and see what happens.

Painfully its not that simple, seems like every spot has to be pre-defined. But I got it to work after spending way too long .

Head into

\Xenonauts2\assets\assets\xenonauts\template\strategy\aircraft\profiles\xenonaut

Then your looking for dropship_tier1.json

Simply change the ( values to 18 )

Replace the two instances of {"_min":9.0,"_val":9.0,"_max":9.0,"$type"

With this

{"_min":18.0,"_val":18.0,"_max":18.0,"$type"

And copy past this

[0.0,0.0,2.0],[1.0,0.0,2.0],[2.0,0.0,2.0],[3.0,0.0,2.0],[4.0,0.0,2.0],[5.0,0.0,2.0],[0.0,0.0,1.0],[1.0,0.0,1.0],[2.0,0.0,1.0],[3.0,0.0,1.0],[4.0,0.0,1.0],[5.0,0.0,1.0],[0.0,0.0,0.0],[1.0,0.0,0.0],[2.0,0.0,0.0],[3.0,0.0,0.0],[4.0,0.0,0.0],[5.0,0.0,0.0]

replacing this
[0.0,0.0,0.0],[0.0,0.0,1.0],[0.0,0.0,2.0],[1.0,0.0,0.0],[1.0,0.0,1.0],[1.0,0.0,2.0],[2.0,0.0,0.0],[2.0,0.0,1.0],[2.0,0.0,2.0]

That should be it and you should be able to do it with the other files.

It takes 1 research subject to get a better ship.
seriously, play the game. When you start changing
stuff 2 things happen...
1: When things go wrong you won't be able to tell
if it is a bug or something YOU did.
2: you really loose ant right to complain as you
have hacked into code you did not write almost
certainly causing the issues you are having.
I am SURE that won't stop any complaining
thus muddying the waters and making it hard
to identify ACTUAL issues.

Time for bed, grandma

The capacity would likely depend upon balancing maps and missions and also what the later craft can carry. It'd be silly to make the starting craft have a huge capacity if it meant the later stuff was now worthless as it had no advantage or it ended up with you having forty soldiers on the missions and easily overwhelming everything.

There is a Lore based reason for why they can't carry more troops and it has to do with the range of the starting helicopter transport. (which is 10x further than the actual helicopter it is based on. so the idea is that it is limited on carry weight due to the need to have been modified to carry a massive amount of additional fuel.)

don't get me wrong I would like to start off with a capacity of 12 and I know how to do it but im not sure if I want to be bothered by it enough to change it.

there are two spots to do the replacement in the code (which the original author fails to mention)
First one is mid-way through and the second is towards the end of the code
