Default Re: Three questions for you pros

Hmmm on the spaceport thing... I dont think I saw anyone mention it but not only is there the cost and time of building a spaceport, there is the fact that you can be spending less to build 3 mining facilities in that same time frame and getting product from it. Especially if the highest mineral planet in the system is a tiny or small or not your environment so I dont have to snag some less worthy rock first to stick a spaceport on. In the early game I think thats a notable boost.
