Or remote explosives shouldn't detonate when shot.

Modern C4 requires a special demo charge to ignite it, and shooting a C4 RE (while not advised) would render it inert (as you destroyed the transmitter) but usually doesn't cause it to explode.

Closes all the RE loopholes.

^ This.

Now that they are sticky, vehicle users have no way of safely removing REs from their vehicles (aside from recalling their vehicle) since destroying them will always damage their vehicle.

Besides, if the REs are volatile enough that punching them causes an explosion, I highly doubt they would be used in combat situations (even with our uber-expendable mercs).

Na, sorry to burst your bubble folks, but most weapons in Dust transfer enough energy to set off C4 if hit. Grenades, plasma, and lasers that do the damage they do in the game would all easily act as a detonator for C4. Inert, non railgun, projectile based weapons shouldn't though , and if we say Dust remotes act the same as C4 then that could could be used as a method for removal of remote explosives from HAV. Not sure how easy it would be to code, but it would be funny as feck to see a pilot bailing out of their HAV and spraying it with an SMG.

@OP-I'm in full agreement. Credit should be due to whoever sets off the remotes/proxies, whether it is enemy or friendly kills caused

If I understand C4 correctly, and I apologize if I'm off my rocker on this one, but they can really only be detonated by a blasting cap which effectivly fires a pin into the C4 at a speed much higher than a bullet. Even pouring thermite onto C4 does not add enough energy to cause the material to detonate, it is THAT stable.

So while modern weapons and materials are not exactly applicable to futuristic game ones, I think its actually pretty unclear if Dust weapons would have enough kinetic energy to set off C4.

Also begs the question if the Minmatar actually use C4 for their remotes, or if they just made a waffle-shaped pipe bomb out of old fireworks and depleted uranium.

Can I say I find it hilarious when people start comparing real life statistics as a base point for a weapons/equipment ability and behavior in a fantasy game where we're able to instantly transfer our consciousness and connect with players in an interstellar galactic universe? Not knocking, by all means, discuss, but I think flying flipping tanks pretty much skipped over the 'IRL' logic.

Lol, I can't play at the moment, so since I can't fly my tank through the air I refuse to talk to others about it. By the way ya should take a look at modern MBTs in action. They can 'fly' in a fairly similar fashion to ours at speed

If the MBTs flip and land upside in a fiery death too, then I say so far we're spot on!

Well, it is Minmatar tech. Not the most stable stuff.
