The mobile Starport has always been a staple Terran military tool. Move in productions to the actual combat zone, and wreak havoc as soon as possible.
After the Brood War, Terran scientists and engineers experimented with creating a Starport that was able to both Lift Off and produce units at the same time. The advantage would of course have been phenomenal. These tests were abandoned not long ago, as the production facility tools were unreliable while being airborne, or could impede the jet engines keeping it afloat.
Game Building
StarCraft 2 Building
The starport is the main and only way to produce true flying units for Terrans. The limited jumping ability of the Reapers do not really count when it comes to real fleets.
Abilities
The Starport can Lift Off and fly at slow speed.
Production
The Starport can produce either double units with a Reactor add-on attached, or high tech units with a Tech Lab. Without either, only low tech units can be produced, and only one at a time.
Development
In the build prior to the 29th of September 2007 it could upgraded to a Starbase, enabling unit construction while in flight.
It has also had other production enabled before the Beta started:
