Hello,

What do you folks use transport ships for?

Are they for moving troops around or do they have other uses?
Can you use them to deploy satilites and weapons platforms?

I use them only in proportions to transport populations before I get a large starliner

So you use them to add population to your colonies?

I use them for transport

.

You can use them to transport and transfer anything including population. You can droops troops, but not launch units. This includes fighters, satellites, mines, and drones. You'll have to use the specific launchers for those items.

I use them to transport all kinds of things, population, troops, satellites, mines, weapon platforms, fighters...you name it. Just can't, as Capt Kwok says, launch anything...do a cargo transfer...or drop cargo to a planet

Put a launching bay on a transport, and it can launch things.
