Must Have Ability:= Weapon



I think that is not correct. The "must have" abiltity does not determine the hull type that is used, but the majority component is. It goes like this:

majority component -> hull type used

colony -> colony ship
cargo storage -> transport hull
fighter launch -> carrier hull
anything else -> normal hull

So if you want to use normal hull for your transports, use weapon or point-defense, or medical bay (that is something good to put on pop transports, btw) or whatever for your majority component. You can add the cargo storage later as a misc. ability or seconday component.
