Transport style hull only has 1 hp?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ships using the starting transport hull (the one colony ships and constructor ships use) only have 1 hp? That seems kinda... well... weak considering my starting scout ships have 16 hp.

That's the weak-point of the cargo hull...you can put lots of stuff on there, but it's very easy to shoot down.

Group it in a fleet for better protection

You can put defenses on them but I have never felt a need to do so

I just built regular large ships, armored and weaponed them up, and named them Combat Freighters. Kept the riffraff from blowing up my trade routes.

If not for that you could just stack em with weapons and such and have something more powerful than any design you could get before Medium Hulls.

I'm guessing that it is therefore intended.
