I would add a couple of points:

If your ship weapons are all missiles, and the planet has few platforms and facilities -- the first volley may destroy it. That's not the transports fault. Review combat to see if this was the case.

If the planet has a colonized moon, the one closest to the transport will be invaded. Send more than one transport in these cases.

As of the latest patch it should target the planet you clicked on with the attack command. It's quite frustrating to send in an invasion fleet with hundreds of troops to take a 'huge' size planet and have them attack the moon instead, then glass the huge planet because they don't have troops to take it...
