Simultaneous movement questions

[Nessin]

1) Is it possible to switch over to Simultaneous movement during the course of the regular solo game?

2) How do you launch individual units in Simultaneous movement? For example I've got a load of robo mining satellites but I only want to drop one satellite at several different locations rather than dumping them all in one spot. My regular "Launch/Recover Units" box is grayed out so I'm assuming you can use that particular command in Simultaneous movement.

You can't change game modes in the middle.

For the most part, it really isn't worth the effort to worry about dropping one sat vs four...
But if you really need to, you could send two ships; one deployment ship, and a cargo ship to carry the sats. Transfer one sat to the deployment ship, and then do the remote launching.
