If you upgrade rather than having mk1,etc it totally changes the name of the design.This is very annoying when you have the research stations and they are all called just starbase after upgrading.

All star base designs are currently special case. Under the covers research stations, defensive bases and monitoring stations are all considered the same kind of base, so the AI has a hard time tracking them and naming them uniquely.

In the next patch these star base designs will be handled better, including how they are upgraded.

I'm glad to hear about the upcoming change. It really is hard to figure out what base to build after and upgrade. Thanks.

Yay.. I made a post on this earlier too. Pretty rough when your build menu shows like 9 *Star Base* for build options. Now I have like a 10% chance of getting the one I want :P

After upgrading you can rename them in the design-screen. Just edit the designs and change the name on the right side of the screen.
