What do you use transport ships for?

[tesco samoa]

I use transports for automating micromanagement.

Example.

1 system 7 unit building planets. 4 planets building fighters, 2 planets building wp's 1 building troops.

I have 4 transports on repeat orders picking up the units from these planets and dropping them off at a staging area. WHich is set to a way point ( Man I would love 100 waypoints )

At this way point I have a few transports delivering WP's to front line colonies. A few more delivering fighters to fleet staging areas. And a few transports delivering troops to staging areas.

I also build pop transports. And use them.

As the game ages... I have more and more transports...

Because I like to leave repeat orders on... It ends up speeding up those epic 2 to 3 hour turns when you hit the 100 to 200 turn range. Also Helps you remember what your overall stag is.

Remeber think Lazy each turn and automate your empire where possible.

The transport helps out in this ....
