Military Starbase is missing +1 Missile Attack buff to ships in its range

App Version: 4.1

I created a Military Starbase in the game I am playing, and when I open the Starbase Management screen and hover over the Military Starbase Module it shows a +1 Beam, +1 Kinetic, and +1 Missile Attack buff which is supposed to apply to all of my ships in its range. Also on the same screen it shows a ship under Area of Effect, and just below under "Ships and Fleets" it states: Beam Attack +1, Kinetic Attack +1. So the Missile Attack +1 buff is MISSING. I used ChatGPT to examine the v4.1 xml files and it thinks there is an error in the xml definitions for the Military Starbase. See attached images for more information.

Your reading is right, and it is not just a display quirk. In StarbaseModuleDefs.xml the military ring's beam and kinetic ship bonuses are both scoped as area effects and the missile one is not. Scope defaults to local when it is left off, so that line stays on the starbase instead of projecting out to ships in range.

The hover text lists what the module declares, which is why all three show up there while only two reach your fleet. Worth a bug report, and it is a data fix rather than anything on your end.
