While the main intent would be for multi crew I see no reason this shouldn't be able to be used solo.
From what it seems the drop bay on npc ships just replace the srv hanger so all ships should work with it.
One thing we love doing in odyssey is drop 1-2 players at a settlement then have two more providing air cover with belly mounted turrets. The only issue with this is needing to land, drop off wait for them to dive/ walk to the settlement ect. Just being able to deploy from a ship in the air would be far easier.
So long as the ship is hovering low enough and a drop bay is equipped you should be able to deploy. If solo your ship will simply dismiss itself after you drop.
