True, it does look like it shouldn't be, but I think thier is some logical reasons why a spaceport would be needed to get Intel points which would justify its existance in the game. I mean, a Space Port is sort of an abstract form of intercommerence between not only your empires worlds, but probably other empires as well. From my knowlege in history (and maybe a few Si-Fi films I have seen), Inteligence is more then just a "James Bond" in disguise as a double Agent. Their is more to intelligence than that. I kinda want to think as the space Ports as commerence communities that not only exchange currancy and trade with other civilizations, but information aswell.
