Is there a quick way to find out which of your colonies have a starport and which do not?

If there isn't, this is something that should probably be considered as a new feature down the line.

The only fast way I've discovered is looking at grey (less than happy) planets in the Colony screen. In most cases, they are planets without starports.

Another suggestion is that shift click should really work somewhere with troops. It is very hard to disband large groups of unneeded troops because they can only be selected one at a time.

There's probably a better way, but I use the Colony Screen and go through the list.
If there's a + for Recreation & Medical, then I know there's a Starport of some size there.

Press F6. On the drop-down on top, select Space Ports.

Now that's something I Didn't know.

Could this tip be in galactopedia? On empire management perhaps??

I agree that there needs to be a way to see which colonies have/don't have starports... as well as an easy "upgrade to latest model" and "set target size" buttons. (the sizes are, 0-3... with 0 being no spaceport, 1 being small space port, 2 being medium, and 3 being large).
So you could easily and quickly build, increase size, decrease size, and update to latest design your starports in colonies.

My current strategy is small space port in EVERY colony, with some of them getting medium or large.
