You are absolutely right. Instead of getting into the whole "mimic life" idea (and yes you can get transporters even without cash - whoohoo!) lets focus on the way the system works.

The further away you are, the more resources you will need to bring with you just to survive the trip. Each different troop carries different ammounts, and the farther away your target, the more they have to be able to carry so they don't "starve to death". Hence transporters are useful for two things: Helping carry larger loads for big trips, and carrying back more resources from plundering close by.

Sometimes you CAN be too far away from a target to hit them with any kind of force. Which I understand and yet also hate

That's when conquering something half-way is useful.
