Title: Commercial Shipport
Post by: Waffles on February 24, 2011, 04:17:22 AM

So, exactly what purpose does a comm.  shipport serve? I'm guessing it improves wealth generated through more trading and pish like that.

Reduces loading and unloading times. The formula is Load Time / (SpacePorts + 1)

So 1 spaceport will halve loading times, 2 spaceports will reduce them by 2/3rds, etc,
