I know very little about ships, though I was once certified in Catamaran boating. Anyway, I'm a bit confused about the change in terminology regarding weapons on the right side of the ship depending on whether the gunner is in the bow or the aft. I though right was always starboard, so the use of "starport" and "aft starboard" is a little weird to me. I have done a search on the forums for "starport" and the threads I found weren't about sides of the ship. Anyone know the reasoning behind this choice? Thank you.
