nah... Spaceports are a representation of a large investment in economic infrastructure, much like a much grander Version of the port of Charleston, Shanghai, etc...probably involving things like space elevators, lots of ship to space shuttles, and the associated facilities for quarantining, money exchange, and transport of people/things...and I say that becuase those races that are "natural merchants" are so good at trading that they don't need the investment to create such an infrastructure. They just do it on a micro-scale.

Too bad they doesn't work with ships...
More interesting, in my view, are these races that doesn't need the Spaceports!
