Or what is the correct term for the torpedo ducts (?) of a submarine?

dispatcher
shooter (well maybe this is more about killing sats not shooting them out)
dropper
planter
seeder

I think its torpedo tubes, so a sattelite tube?

How about a sattelite pod? Or maybe that implies a one-use component.

Maybe a sattelite mini launcher?

just out of interest... would it be possible to mod a component with a sat launching ability of 0, so it can retrieve sats but not launch them? Not sure why you'd want such a thing... might be useful if you could do it for fighters I suppose.

dogscoff - no, that is not possible.
Launch/Recover uses two values. One for the number that can be Launched/Recovered per game turn and the other is per combat turn.
So, the number that can be launched or recovered is always the same.

oh, shame. However in turn-based I find that a ship equipped with a single fighter bay (that can only lauch 4 fighters) can recover an infinite amount of fighters.
