Problem is you kinda need a spaceport at the destination so that the starship can get back to you.

You might be able to have a hub and spoke model, where the Starship drops off its cargo then hops back to a hub for stacking on another Super Heavy.
Given the drone ship landings of the Falcon first stages, I wonder: could you land a Starship on a US aircraft carrier?

And the obvious next question: given Musk is happy to take ship names from pop culture and sci-fi, might he name one of the Starship vehicles “Enterprise”, and could the Starship Enterprise land on the USS Enterprise (CVN-80)?
