Will we get to craft Starports for our Rank 5 Cities? Been a way a while but I remember that being the idea back in the day. If not how do you call your ship? Any NPC Spaceport?

I think it would be cool to give NPC cities of the highest rank a "player" starport. You could launch your ship from there but you wouldn't be able to travel there from outside the system. Basically just a building with a starship terminal in it.
I don't think it should serve as a shuttleport either.
This would add a significant bonus for player cities without making NPC starports obsolete.
Plus, you'd have to maintain this (it should be expensive but you could charge "docking fees") and a shuttleport so it would require a lot of work on the part of the city to hold onto it.

I believe the devs decided not to make playercity starports becuase it would cut off interaction of people at the NPC cities. There would be no reason to go to a NPC city except: To heal your mind, get a doctor buff, browse the bazzar; all of which would die at NPC cities if people only went there for these purposes.
What we need, are personal shuttles (like starships but only for travel from shuttlport to shuttleport) that you could carry with you in your datapad, like a vehical.

I didn't see any indication that the Devs were going to add this during Beta - but it was requested many times.
As it stands now, you can't. But hey, you never know what will happen in weeks ahead.
