Spaceport and Starship Components

The spaceport is required for many missions such as Starship Colony games, Parts of the Campaign, and also in Space Rush games. If you are Plymouth, you have the option of building (after research) a weapon called the EMP Missle. If you are Eden, you have the option of building a RLV.

As with many structures such as the Agridome, you can dock a Cargo Truck to the Spaceport. This will allow you to move various things such as Satelites and Packages that are ready to be deployed into Orbit.

The types of rockets available to launch things at the Spaceport are as follows:

You can build the SULV when you research “Space Programs”. You can only launch it once, hence the name “SULV” - Single Use Launch Vehicle.

RLV stands for “Reusable Launch Vehicle”. You can use it as many times as necessary, and can be built after “Improved Launch Vehicle” is researched. Note: Only available to Eden

The EMP Missle does not put anything in orbit, but is a weapon only available to Plymouth. Pressing the “Launch” button allows you to target the missile to a point on the map. A short time after the missile launches it will land at the specified tile and create an EMP shcokwave, disabling all vehicles within a radius of several tiles. It can be very deadly if you time it right. Many players however, get annoyed if you “spam” the rockets (launching them over and over very rapidly), and you may want to come to an agreement with your opponents about what missile tactics will be acceptable before you start a multiplayer game. Note: Only available to Plymouth
