+Class E starports are the most basic, consisting of basic re-fuelling and little else. They may even consist entirely of a cleared spot of land, with some free standing fuel tanks. The main differentiation between type E and D starports is that the former often won't have any permanently manned facilities, they tend to be a help your-self affair, with visitors expected to leave things in the same state that they left them.
+Like all starports, they will have a radio beacon which will respond to pings, allowing them to be easily discovered by approaching craft. They can typically be detected from low orbit - often to 1,000 to 10,000 kilometres.
