Absolutely.

To clarify, some megastructures do have tooltips which tell you their effects before you build them. For example, the tooltip for the Dyson Sphere tells you how much energy will be produced at each of the stages of production.

But others have tooltips which do not tell you what you need to know about them. For example, nowhere does the Science Nexus tooltip say that it grants a +15% bonus to all science production.

Flame13223, could you perhaps post this in the bugs subforum?

Strategic coordination center thing also sometimes has a tooltip when its completed but not before you make it and even that doesn't appear all the time and yes I will file a bug report.

Yeah, that's actually a big oversight. I had a ruined Art thingy, I fixed it and it said +300 unity. But it never showed that it also gives +15% amenities.
Naval coordination is even worse, I fixed a ruined one and it don't give any tooltip at all. I only accidentally found that it gives + to max defense plantforms (not that they are any good, but still) and + to max starbases.

Dont forget the sublight speed and naval capacity...

They aren't that bad. In my current late game where I have 2 naval coordination centers (and defense platform repeatables in the 50s) fully decked out star bases have 540k fleet power (30k HP, 2k damage each). Earlier at about 100k fleet power with 30ish platforms, a starbase destroyed 2 90k FE fleets that arrived at the same time in the system and lost I think something like 8 platforms.
