Make sure you're building the appropriate type of starbase. Ship assist modules can only be built on military starbases, trade modules can only be built on ecomnomic bases, and influence modules can only be built on influence bases. Attack, defense, and sensors can be built on any starbase.

You may also have not noticed these additional types of starbases. Many new players mistakenly think you can only build starbases on galactic resources, but that is only one type of starbase (mining). You can build the other three types wherever you like in space by just flying a constructor there and pressing the 'construct' button.

I think starbases have gone a bit screwy in the beta. I was showing 0 of 1 modules installed on my military starbases, yet when I went to upgrade them it said "no new modules available". To check it wasn't my imagination, I researched the first starbase fortification tech. It changed to 0 of 2 modules installed, but I still got the same message.

Or am I forgetting something?
