MK-002: Starports by http://micki001.cnc.net which seems to have been
absorbed into a StarTraveller Supplement STP-002 (legitimately or not).
* The Compleat Starport (article in Far & Away issue 1 by Pacific Rim
Publishing, J. Andrew Keith)
* The Compleat Starport/Starport Landfall double booklet (Star Quest Games)
* Various SPA chunks in JTAS
* Judges Guild 50 Starbases (I didn't love the graphics, admittedly a fair
effort given the time... but the text had some interest)
* Gurps:Starports
* Quite likely something in MT's Starship Operator's Manual
There was a copy of the Compleat Starport article published in the HIWG fanzine Starships, Starports & Vehicles Vol. 1 No. 3 White Dwarf issue 22 and 43 both had articles on Starports. The latter "Happy Landings: Starport Design in Traveller" was referred to me several times. Traveller Chronicle 4 has an article about them. MT: COACC has some notes about the ports. The T4 book Pocket Empires has a some rules for building ports, as they become a key part of building your empire.
I”m pretty sure there is also an issue of “Space Gamer” that has an article on Starports, unfortunately I’m not sure where the box with my copies of that magazine are (most of the rest of my Traveller material is out). To my surprise, I apparently have issues 1 & 2 of “Far & Away”, I wonder where. I found that while looking at my inventory list from 25 years ago of Traveller material.
