SM, I never had trouble getting my mines to self destruct in any of my games, however, you may want to try a ship with a spaceyard on it in the same location, then try & see if the self destruct would take place. remember only the units in space can self destruct or be salvaged. To be salvaged you must have a spaceyard present either on the planet or on a ship. I don't know if the spaceyard will work for you and your problem but you might want to give it a try. IF your mines or sats are on a planet they must either be jettisoned as cargo or launched and then self destructed or salvaged. if still in the cargo bays these are the only ways that I know that you can get rid of them

just some ideas mac
