Pure speculation, but it's reasonable to assume that ship multicrew capacity will not change in Odyssey, and you will only be able to transport as many people as multicrew seats your ship has. If you accept this logic, than the conclusion we can draw is that the Dropship will only be able to transport two CMDRs (the pilot, and one passenger). The same amount as the Cobra and Vulture, for example. The Krait Mk.2 & Alliance Crusader both have three total seats. This makes them the only two medium ships capable of transporting more than two total players.
This would explain why the Crusader was used in the recent gameplay video. Rest assured that I am in the process of writing my open letter on the emerging Crusader/Krait Odyssey meta.
On a more serious note, do you think I'm wrong in my assumption? Do you hope I'm wrong? Find out in this latest Odyssey outrage thread.
