I don't know about you guys, but I feel the Degasi crew had a knack for picking nice base locations (Also being cheaters and placing MP rooms dead-center on platforms rather than only on the corners!) and sometimes I looked at one of 'em and thought to myself that it'd be nice to expend some lubricant, titanium, glass and lithium to polish it up and reclaim it in the name of Alterra. Or rather in the name of myself, since after reading that Diamond pickup message I'm not sure I want to be rescued anymore 
Anyway, I thought it'd be cool if we could repair them to use for our own purposes, or at least scrap them for spare resources. What do you all think?

Undoubtedly, all elements of the abandoned bases are coded, for the most, part as fixed elements in the game. So, the work required to allow greater interaction might require re-coding all of them almost from the ground up. Yeah, it would be cool to repair those bases and use them. But I have other stuff I want first that is more pressing. For example, I want to be able to directly dock my Cyclops to my base.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they're static objects and so would need some tag or script applied to them to say "Hey, this can be interacted with!" - not even mentioning the extra work needed to actually get them to go from one state to another. It might not be that hard, it might not be all too tedious, but it's not a priority either way.
It'd be a neat thing to add at some point in the future, but definitely not right away~
YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU, I want that trick to make it into our hands so much ;v;
Being able to rotate the moonpool would be a splendid addition as well but that's another topic for another day....
bastards'v taken all the best base-building spots ;/
Just build it near the base as an outpost. That's what I do.
Well, if you can repair it, it stands to reason that you would then be able to de-construct or modify it.
Like others, stated, this would take time to do, and I respect the devs' priorities and time spans.
The island bases are VERY pretty, and, with my colonization scheme going on, they've picked out three perfect spots to make little homes for my ultimately perfect roleplay narrator c O U G H
Very nice idea, as I was thinking of it myself!
totally didn't dig around in my bag for a repair tool and shoot it at the base :P
Very bad news, the base had a hull integ of like -30 No wonder why they died. The base is probably beyond repair at this point
Please let us center base parts on the foundations we are all suffering since they can't be centered
Im all for it!
I have never understood some peoples need to use the platforms for their bases. I haven't used them since...pretty much my first base back in December of 2015. They are just a waste of materials and, if you check out the cool bases people are showing in contests and on youtube, most people ignore them completely. About the only thing I use them for is external planters to make large gardens for something nice to look at from inside my base, in some of the blander cases where a window looks out on nothing interesting or attractive.
