1 Currently, I like the system the way it is. Constructor-buildable light transport craft would still be useful, certainly, and it would save a lot of hassle of having to make the ships with an entirely new factory. However, considering that having transport ships available to me allows me to ship units to any location on the map at speeds greater than any land unit, ignoring all terrain obstacles in the way, I think that it qualifies as a tactical (and even strategic) boon on par with building an entirely new factory to have access to a new array of units that may help you win battles more reliably. 1 Currently, I like the system the way it is.

3 tl;dr -- Having transports is powerful enough already, as long as people know how to use them. 3 tl;dr -- Having transports is powerful enough already, as long as people know how to use them.

5 That being said, this is still a game, and I think it'd be cool to have transports be more available. It could radically change how games are played. Maybe even make it feel a bit more like Supreme Commander, where transports are commonly used. Or even better, allow us to actually USE the Ferry command and drop-to-factory-rally-point features ZK has gathering cobwebs right now because the only people who ever build transports are roach/Zeus droppers, Detri cheesers and lobstercomnappers.
