Confirmed Stellaris - ship_size starbase modifier affect twice in game [3.0.3][d281]

Hello, thank you for your report.
The base armor of a starbase gets increased by the amount the tooltip suggests, so for example upgrading to a starport should increase the armor hit points by +2000 which it does, making a starport have 4000 base armor compared to a starbases 2000.
The tooltips could be clearer at explaining this and where the armor is coming from so we will make a ticket about it and see what can be done.

Hello.
When you upgrade a starbase it gets more utility slots, which are by default filled with armor and shield modules. This can increase the armor you get to be higher than what the tooltip suggests. Hopefully we can make the tooltip more clear about what is happening.
