 Unlike "Settlers", there is no increased production to spaceports - however, ships may be deployed at intersections adjacent to spaceports, which may be convenient as the Catanian colonies are considerably distant from the planets in the middle of the board and the trading bases at the edges of the board.Each player begins the game with one spaceport, and may build two additional spaceports over the course of the game.If a colony ship or a trade ship is built, the ship is placed on any intersection adjacent to one of their spaceports.
