Starcraft Buildings – Starport

Starport

The Starport is the Terran production building for air units. It requires a Factory before it can be built. It can be lifted off.

Usage

Initially, the Starport can only produce Vikings, Medivacs, or Liberators, one at a time — however, like Barracks and Factories, attaching add-ons increase this capability. Attaching a Reactor allows the Starport to produce two of these units at a time while attaching a Tech Lab allows a Starport to produce Banshees, Ravens and Battlecruisers (the latter also requiring a Fusion Core).

A common technique is to start both your Starport and a Reactor on your Factory as soon as the Factory is complete. Since both take 50 seconds to complete, you can swap the Factory and Starport upon completion (resulting in a Reactored Starport) allowing you to immediately “double-pump” Medivacs or Vikings. Similarly, this technique can be used to get faster cloaked Banshees by constructing a Tech Lab on your factory.

TERRANS – THE FEDERAL MARINE CORPS.

PRIDE. STRENGTH. DISCIPLINE

Outcasts, lawbreakers and rebels were once sent from Earth to establish the first human colony outside the solar system. Left to their own devices, a tight military organization gave them the adaptability and flexibility they needed to survive in the far reaches of the galaxy. Far away from their homeland, a multitude of more or less independent colonies gradually developed.

The nomadic-looking people owe their assertiveness, among other things, to the ability to build their tactical outposts quickly and effectively in the contested area. A special achievement of the Terrans is the ability to land finished buildings from a greater distance in more distant areas.
