Can you use them to deploy satilites and weapons platforms?
Moving population definitely, lauching sats and mines (with the proper component installed on the ship) often. I often use them to drop troops in combat. If I have to move fighters from one planet to another, I usually have them fly.
Weapon platforms ... umm no, the new planet can usually build it's own fairly quickly

Not if you want the planet to also develop quickly. Making the new colony build both its facilities and its own defenses can be a fatal mistake against a real (human) opponent. I'd put forward deployment of Weapon Platforms near the top of the list for transport uses.
