loading troop transports

Just wondering how you are supposed to load the transport ships so you can assault core worlds?

Double-click on a citizen.  This will convert the citizen to a soldier and load the transport.

I can do that but the ship that is supposed to be the troop transport will not show that it has the troops and when you get to the colony it still says no troops on board.

Move the troop transport onto a world that has a citizen you want to load onto it.  Then click on the world to select it which will display the graphic shown below in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.  The bottom tile on the right will cause the troop transport to come out of the world on your NEXT turn at which time you will be prompted to select the citizen to load onto the troop transport.  I STRONGLY disagree with the design decision that makes you wait a turn to eject ships from a world instead of ejecting them immediately, but that is the way it works right now.

If the Game Turn is still supposed to be a week long, it actually makes more sense for the delay than to not have it. It will take longer than a day after giving the order to load everything you need for an invasion into the ship to send it on its way.
