Description

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.

Abilities

Lift off

Duration: 1 s Hotkey: L Lifts off a building, making it airborne and mobile. Can be used by Command Center, Orbital Command, Barracks, Factory and Starport.

Add-ons

• A Starport can build two types of add-ons.
• Without any add-ons, the Starport can produce a single Medivac, Viking, or Liberator at any one time.

50 25 18 Hotkey: X Research structure, a Tech Lab can fit onto Barracks, Factory, and Starport.

Notes

When building a unit, the window lights flash on and off, and the circular hood overhead lowers into the building. Sparks are also seen.

Patch Changes

Patch 4.7.1
If a player tries to lift a structure when there is an upgrade being researched in an attached Tech Lab, they will not be able to do so and will receive a red text error message.
