Megaport

	A vast starport where the stars can touch the dirt. Regimented lander gantries and armoured fuel tanks are laced together by access-roads and short-haul cargo trams feeding a sprawl of warehouse districts and logistics terminals, all making the colony vastly more accessible.
–In-game description

A Megaport is a structure. It is built by upgrading a Spaceport.

A megaport costs 300 000 credits to build and has an upgrade time of 150 days.

Statistics

Effects

• Provides +90% accessibility to the colony.
• Provides growth equal to colony size.

Note: A megaport, or its downgrade Spaceport, provide the majority of a colony's accessibility, both directly and by removing the -100% accessibility penalty from the lack of a spaceport, thus making exports or imports without one nigh-impossible.

Upkeep

Megaports have a base upkeep of 2 000 credits, increasing by the same amount for each colony size past 3.

A megaport will incur an upkeep penalty if the demand for Fuel, Supplies, or Ship Hulls & Weapons is not met. The penalty is a 10% increase to upkeep per unit of the largest shortage amount.

• Crew: equal to colony size, plus one
