Here's a breakdown of the StarbaseModules.xml tags.
[StarbaseModule InternalName=""] : InternalName is the unique identifier. It's used for Module_Requirement.
[Name] : Name shown ingame.
[Model] : Not Used. The 4 types of starbases use shipcfg files for starting and upgraded models.
[Description] : Not Used. The description you see ingame is based on what the module does.
[Tech_Requirement] : The tech you need to research before the module is available. Doesn't support multiple requirements.
[Module_Requirement] : The module needed on the starbase before this module can be added. Doesn't support multiple requirements.
[ModuleSize] : Not used.
[ModuleCost] : BC cost to add module to startbase.
[Type] : There are 5 different types:
Defense - The module can be added to any starbase.
Military - The module can only be added to Military Starbases
Culture - The module can only be added to Influence Starbases
Economy - The module can only be added to Economic Starbases
Mining - The module can only be added to Resource Starbases
[StarbaseAbility] : This determines what the module does. Each ability has associated tags with it. Using tags from a different ability yeilds undesired results. Attack and Defense can not be on the same module for this reason.

Please post any errors I may have made, or bugs you come across.
Feel free to reorganize this data and add it to the wiki! While a little credit for it may be nice (originally by Syneris, fixed edited updated etc by...), it's not necessary as long as it gets added on the wiki to help people who may want it
