Starports allow ships to request transport pods containing 5000 resources. Building a Starport opens a planet to the automated planetary resource trading system. On construction an AI [[Transport]] will spawn, and will begin to transfer resources to and from the planet with other planets in the system. The Starport can be set to stop export of resources or stop import of resources, or both. This is useful for transporting resources in a system to a single point, most often a planet with a Shipyard.

Structures are the things that make Darkspace go. Without the Shipyard, the only ships would be Scouts and Frigates, and without the Dome or the Hydroponics Farm, you could never get the population needed to build a Shipyard. Other structures are also essential, for example, Defense Bases defend your planets from invasion, and Depots repair friendly ships.

Structures are built by Engineering ships in orbit(or close to) around a Planet.
