Default Satellites, Mines, Troops, Fighters & Retrofit\\Scrap\\SelfDestruct

I've read entirely too many topics on this subject and taken all together I still have no idea on how to deal with the above. I've tried scrapping\self-destructing Satellites & Mines in a variety of circumstances and nothing seems to work. Jettisoning will do it, but in a finite resources game that's a huge waste.

So in the hopes of starting THE Last thread on this :

Satellites
- scrappable? If so, how?
- retrofitable? If so, how?
- selfdestructable? If so, how?

Mines
- scrappable? If so, how?
- retrofitable? If so, how?
- selfdestructable? If so, how?

Troops
- scrappable? If so, how?
- retrofitable? If so, how?
- selfdestructable? If so, how?

Fighters
- scrappable? If so, how?
- retrofitable? If so, how?
- selfdestructable? If so, how?

None of the units can be retrofitted.

Troops and WPs can only be jettisoned.

Mines can only be jettisoned or self-destructed.

Fighters and Satellites can be jettisoned if in cargo, or scrapped in space. I -think- they can be self destructed.

The choices spring up for units in space if you hit that recycle symbol on the control panel (The same one you use when you want to refit a ship), highlight the unit group in question and you'll get some choices.
