Control Tower (Starport add-on)

 
This fairly costly add-on lets you construct Dropship transports from your Starport. Likewise, this add-on is imperative if you intend to use Wraith fighters, as this is the place where you research the Wraith Cloaking Field that lets them turn invisible at will. The Apollo Reactor increases their energy reserves by 50 points, letting them remain cloaked for a while longer.

Science Facility

 
This costly Science Facility lets you research second- and third-level upgrades at your Engineering Bay and Armory. Further, it lets you produce Science Vessels from your Starport, which are valuable for their offensive and defensive special abilities as well as their cloak-detecting sensors. You can add one of two different add-ons to your Science Facility. The Covert Ops lets you produce Ghost agents at your Barracks and add a Nuclear Silo to your Command Center. The Physics Lab will let you construct Battlecruisers at your Starport. Ghosts are useful and inexpensive, so in most cases, you will want to build a Covert Ops first. Should you later decide to build a Physics Lab, the simplest solution is to construct a second Science Facility to support it. However, you have the option to fly your Science Facility to a new location and build a new add-on there, with the disadvantage being that the former add-on is rendered useless.

The Science Facility is the last structure on your technology tree, but important to produce if only to facilitate new upgrades and let you train valuable Ghost agents.
