I have a fleet blockading an enemy penal colony world, and a fleet of troop transports trying to invade, but whenever I give the order they seem to refuse to do it?

The order sticks around for a fraction of a second - shield and health bars appear - and then they all go to no mission status again.

Are you sure they really got troops? And just in case there is an amusing bug, try to lift the blockade while invading?

Yeah we've got plenty of troops. 326k worth of it.

I ended up just game editing the planet to my control - It's not like it would have ended any different anyway.

Edit: Tried invading another colony (an ordinary one this time) and same result. My troop ships are filled to the brim with infantry.

What are your ship design settings?

In the dropdown in the ship design screen there should be some "invade when ...".

You can change those dropdowns with existing designs as well, no need to refit, the drop down change ship behavior instantly.

Argh - Of course! I just copied a passenger ship design and put a bunch of troop modules on. Thanks Locarnus - I was going crazy!
