All ships have a capacity of 1. Surely transports (by their very title & historical use) should have more.
Anyone know the thinking behind this anomaly (?).

In the game, transports are cheaper (and faster) to build. QED.

From what I could tell from my readings, there weren't troop transport ships per-se, but "transport" was very often just a converted merchant vessel put to the use of transporting troop -- so they really don't have a greater transport capacity than any other group of ships.
