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 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 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.
