I've been thinking about the shuttleport/spaceport thing. What do you think of the idea of a master politician getting the ability to place a spaceport in their city if the city reaches say... 200 people? Something very high to obviously not make it so there are a ton of spaceports, but a couple player ran space ports could be pretty cool.
Just a thought.

Go to the NPC cities and look at the size of a starport.
Look at a player city
Imagine how much room you will have after getting 200 happy citizens
hmmmmm... get the pucture
The realistic sizes of a building that can land and house interplanetary ships is a bit too large fo rplayer cities.
And the idea of having just a terminal .. well the ship is not there
And the ideas of using the shuttle port are like having a plane land at a bus terminal.
It actually makes sense for us not to have starports.

This will never happen because starports are "hard-wired" into the system and cannot be moved, placed, or destroyed.
HOWEVER.........JTL starship launch terminals are not. *wink wink*

Oh excellent idea! JTL Starship terminals would be a great feature to add to player cities. After all, Luke landed his X-Wing in the swamps of Dagobah. Is it really all that hard to believe I can't land my Y-Wing on Lok?
This would be really nice. Might need to modify my top 5 requests to add this. Maybe as a benefit to being a master politician it allows you to place a starship terminal.

This has been discussed in several threads, look them up and you will see why we will not be getting starports or starship terminals.

Yeah, this has been discussed a bunch of times, and Devs have said it's not going to happen.
"Technical reasons" is the excuse we've been given. Best I can figure is that it'd be slightly annoying for them to have to dynamically generate the list of locations to land when you talk to a Space Station. I'm sure there's probably a ton more behind the scenes type stuff that makes it a pain for them to do.
So don't get your hopes up on this one, whether it be the Starport building itself, or just the terminals.
