Can't Launch Units Remotely! Help!

[Nitram Draw]

You should be able to detonate mines anywhere. I forget which window you go to but I do it all the time with mine on WP in the rear area.

Like I stated before and ND also, I have never had problem self destructing mines anywhere. If you find you need to have a spaceyard or planet before they will destruct I think you may want to re-install the game and newest patch. When you go to the, I believe, Analyze button, green triangle and click on it you should see on the right the buttons to self destruct, etc.
This should work, Sometimes you'll hear an explosion sometimes not. Then check the area where your mines were and see if still there.
If its not working correctly then something is wrong. Also don't forget if you are showing more then 1 item on the left side, example, ftrs, mines, base, etc, you have to clik on the one you want to self destruct or scrap. You have to do this for each catagory.
If this still doesn't work, I would re-install. Remember, you must lst click on the item on the left and put into middle screen before anything will happen even if you only have one item.

Anyone else have any ides on what could be the probelm??

just some ideas Mac

Guys,

I think the issue here is (sim) PBEM games. I know there are Posts from other players here having the same problem. I have been able self-destruct in Turn-based games.

I just did another install of 1.41 and will test with the most current.

You're right there, all my experiance is with single player/hotseat.
If you can't find a solution maybe you can give them to an ally (or enemy) if you promise to sweep them. Then you could backstab them and keep them from launching more units!
