on your last comment ... sounds like Airbus ... not a put down by any means

I'd add the following
descriptions to them:E - if you bribe
the locals and provide your own tech support, you could
assemble a fuel pump to get unrefined fuel. Expect it to
break before you have full tanks though.
D - If you
bribe the locals and help assemble the filtration equipment,
you can get a temporary working pump to provide refined
fuel. Expect it to break before you have full tanks
though.C - Can
assemble a (non-jump) spaceship built at a tech B Spaceport,
at a +30% or higher markup, plus you have to either choose
from whatever is available, or wait for a courier to get to
the Class B starport, and a freighter to bring the ship to
you. Little more than plug Tab A into slot A, this
spaceship will need after-market maintenance to ensure
everything is in working order. The GM should pick one or
two standard ships, and this is all that is
available.B - Can
assemble a jump-capable spaceship built at a tech A planet,
at a
+30% or higher markup, plus you have to either choose from
whatever is
available, or wait for a courier to get to the Class A
starport, and a
freighter to bring the ship to you. Little more than plug
Tab A into
slot A, this spaceship will need after-market maintenance to
ensure
everything is in working order. The GM should pick one or
two standard
ships, and this is all that is available.
Essentially,
the Class A starport builds the pieces of the ship, and
ships them via freight to a Class B starport to be put
together. This keeps the Class A starport ship slots empty
for proper use, and allows the Class B starport technicians
practice at assembling ships.
I'm
trying to remember the name of where one factory in a higher
tech nation assembles the key parts, and another nation
assembles them.

The way I
always ran it, starports could be on the ground/water, in
the sky (floating cities), or in low orbit and had the
following capabilities:
E -
Basically a place to park. A place to do Han Solo and
Chewbacca field repairs, assuming they actually decide to
listen to the translator droid, without worrying about the
local wildlife chewing on power cables.
D - A
place to get unrefined fuel, Maybe barter for a spare part
of two (selection varies wildly). Real landing lights and
maybe a chance to park out of the weather (if there is
weather). Restaurants and other accommodations, but not a
lot of variety. Not necessarily seedy, but not a place you
want to hang out at either.
C -
Refined fuel, actual terminals and commercial landing areas.
Good food, better places to sleep off the ship, standard
selection of spare parts, wider variety of other facilities.
Maintenance facilities for starships, can also do minor
repairs or "make do" repairs until you get to a
"real" starport.
B -
Everything at a C starport but more so. Can do all starship
maintenance, including major repairs and overhauls. Can
build non-jump capable craft, though usually only standard
designs.
A - First
rate facilities and accommodations. Could build a starship
from scratch.
Better
the starport, more likely that they will have a combination
of terrestrial and orbital facilities.
All this
means that my RC would have no problem cranking out
starships so long as the supply of salvaged jump drives or
Hiver imports holds out. You might argue that Aubaine's
starport is actually a 'B+', in that they are
designing and building what amount to starships, though I
would argue that in reality they are simply taking advantage
of other people's work by building spacecraft (as
opposed to starships) that can have a jump drive slapped in
them. Pimping someone's ride doesn't make you Dodge
or Toyota.
