I've been using a very cheap, very limited small spaceport on starting colonies

I'm wondering if this will create resource distribution problems with your private sector ships racing around to try to move stockpiles there. Wouldn't it be better to use a def base or some such non-port orbital platform?

I use just one storage bay on the space ports in question, and I do find them semi-useful to have a couple of docs and a construction yard. I haven't noticed any major problems with my economy in doing this. I've thought about using it on a defensive base as well, but while I tend to only use small space ports for this, I obviously want real defensive bases and its just easier to micro for me as I have it set up. My "real" space ports are used much more sparingly and only in major worlds/locations.
