Family convo tonight based on local observations, leading to a Traveller correspondence.
Even for Starport classes there might be some differences in traffic. which influence EVERYTHING downstream.
1-2 - Major spaceport, near-constant traffic, ships landing/launching are just a thing.
3-4 - Active but scaled. "Wow, it's mostly just in-system or orbital stuff here. That T-990 Dragonfly looks cool!"
5-6 - All traffic is awesome. "Yeah, we sometimes sit here all day without seeing anything. But any time we do I love it - that's a ship that came all the way from outer space!"
