No reaction from abandoned ships/bases?

About 50% of the time when I discover an abandoned ship/base I get the "investigate" pop-up that leads to an event. But the other half of the time nothing happens at all. What's going on?
I'm not sure if I'm finding a bug, intended game behavior, or am I doing something wrong?

Yes. Some ships are too badly damaged and need to be repaired first. The term abandoned is a little missleading in this instant.

Yes, these ships and bases are abandoned AND damaged. The damaged graphic look tell you their status. After you repair them, they will become yours.

a nice way to see right away what it is, you can selct a ship with weapons and move the mouse pointer across the ship/base in question. If it is boardable right away through investigation, the pointer will not change. If it is damaged, it will change to a red crosshair for a possible attack command.
