It's also possible that this is a fuel issue, if the target world is particularly distant and your transports lack sufficient range or fuel to reach. If you're seeing the troop ships head towards the planet, get partway there, and turn around to go refuel, then you might want to try getting a fuel source closer to the target, moving your transports there first, refueling them at that closer source, and then moving on the target, or redesigning your transports with greater range (by using more efficient reactors or switching to a more efficient hyperdrive, or by adding more fuel cells; cutting the transport's static energy requirements, typically by stripping out unnecessary components with static energy requirements such as proximity arrays or by removing enough components to allow the ship to have fewer life support and hab modules, can also work, but since this generally requires removing components it's not always feasible).
