Can any starbase be improved to repair ships quickly?

I moved "starbase repair" up in the starbase que thinking that it would repair my ships but now I'm thinking starbase repair is just for repairing starbases. Does it repair ships or just the starbase?

I've flown some constructors into the starbases under these conditions and they disappear. No module appeared down below that I could see and there was no damage to the starbase so I think it just absorbed these constructors without giving me anything. That does not make me happy. GalCiv can be hard on people who don't know all the rules and there are a lot of rules and not much info. 

How about a military starbase? Will those repair passing fleets? Do the fleets have to be within the circle of effect or do they have to be right on the starbase or maybe they do nothing about the repair of ships and fleets. 

Does any kind of starbase repair ships?

AFAIK MilSB are able to repair ships but the current game doesn't offer such a module.

What's standardly considered as SB repair is +20 hitpoints, but this can only happen when that starbase is damaged.

Constructors don't disappear into nothingness. If no module is availabe then you'll get a prompt about it, and the constructor will wait before the starbase.

You could always try to select your modules manually, it's IMO the better way and you know for what your constructor did disappear for.
