Hi all,
can you kindly tell me which are the advantages to upgrade from a medium space port to a large one?
Also I cannot retrofit from medium to large. Should I scrap the medium one and build the large one after that?
Many thanks!

AFAIK there is no difference between a large and medium space port except for the name. You make them different by your design.
You can upgrade by right-clicking on the space port then selecting "Retrofit" from the context menu.

I did a video explaining space ports. You can find it here:

AFAIK you cannot retrofit from one design class (or name) to another.
It is the same with ships... you can only upgrade a frigate to another frigate design; not to a destroyer or escort
I treat the different design names as blank templates that allow the player have various designs for different purposes
So I use Small Space Ports for a bare bones minimal port design for unimportant colonies
Medium Ports for more important and defended colonies
And the Large Port for my main hub or hubs
