[edit] Overview

The RCS star port is a unique ship. It is the only ship in VGAP 4 which is able to both build and destroy Jump Gates (unless The Scavenger Tribes can upgrade their Reigendo Class Stratofortress). Thus, you can build Outgoing-only jump gates.

For 6000 credits, this is not a bargain, so expensive weaponry is justified. Note that the star port is gravity stabilized, and cannot be moved by any means. You may want to backup your investment by some Escorts and. An Odin might be a good protection from hyperjumpers, too.

[edit] Special

• Gravity Stabilized: Ship can´t move or be moved
• You need an Arerran Capital, Nawole Garden or Xelovi Hive in the base to build this ship.
• It is subject to the special rules applying to ships of the Reunited Colaition of Systems.
• This starport can build all Coalition ship types except for itself. Alien hull drydocks cannot build Coalition hulls special hulls. Host 212e

[edit] Useful Configurations

[edit] Rather low cost

Large Weapons	Small Weapons	Point Defense	Engines	Hyper Drive	Generators	Shield	Armor
8 PTTs	8 Tachyon Guns	4 Turbo Lasers, 4 Quad Lasers	2 R50 Mega-Fusions	-	4 Servodyne 600, 1 GF Prilldyne 140	GS-SX 1000	2000

Power drain of all weapons is 64. You might as well use two Turbo Thrusters and no generators. The attack bonus only 20, so some Comb Class escorts should be around.

[edit] High Tech

Large Weapons	Small Weapons	Point Defense	Engines	Hyper Drive	Generators	Shield	Armor
3 TLAs, 3 LTLA, 2 PPC	8 Xenon Beams	7 Turbo Lasers, 1 Concussion Rockets	2 Tylium Thrusters	-	2 GF Tokamak 8080, 3 Tifuss KH4000	GS-SX 1000	2000

Let's assume the Amphibians built some stuff for you and you have got the spare Tylium Thrusters, this is a first class home world defense. Cost is 56.180 mc if you have to pay everything. Large Weapons cost alone is 34.000 mc, so the reminder is just 22.180 mc.

Adding at least 1 Sand Caster and 1 Gatling will likely be worthwhile, if facing a fighter race.
