capturing planets in PBW games

This may seem like a silly question, but the emphasis seems to be on the design type "Troop transport".

Can the design type "Pop. transport" be used instead of the design type "Troop transport"?

They can be the exactly the same except for the designation given to them when you create them as a "Pop. transport" or a "Troop transport".

I would think that you could use either one to capture a planet as long as their strategy is set to "capture planet".

But does anyone know for certainty that a "Pop. transport" can be used instead of a "Troop transport"?
