I dunno... I've been scrapping H's and O's for years and no one
seems to mind... :)

A "confirm" option is not feasible due to the way the server works
with all the players (it can't stop and wait for you to say yes.)

An idea I've had which I intend to eventually implement is to make a
toggle switch you could set/unset requiring you to be at the scope 
of the ship you wish to scrap for the scrap to work.  That would
seriously eliminate mistaken scraps for me.
