"Abandoned" Bases

[carlabrams]

I'm going to vote yes as well.

We run into that situation in real life many times. In many cases, it's much more cost effective to simply scrap something on site or just leave than it is to try to reclaim it.

So in Freelancer terms, it took an investment to get some supplies out into the boonies, to study something or to be a gathering / mining place. Then when the company folded or the research was completed, it would cost more to try to pull the old stuff back than it would to buy new.

Now, the Junkers move their stations to the scrap fields, but they're also used to making do without all the luxuries that pampered scientists require. That's also why Junkers bases don't look like much.

I think on the whole, this would be a good idea. It'd give people people some place to stop. I would like to see these start out as abandonded, and perhaps as things grow in later mods, to have those made into freelancer or other bases.
