So I feel that RE spam has decreased somewhat, but I still run into people chucking REs instead of using their weapons. I believe this behavior will not fully go away unless we remove REs (which I am against) however, we can give people some warning that they are nearby by giving them a profile that can be picked up on passive scans. This profile would be tiered, ie: the higher the tier, the lower the profile.
Now, REs are supposed to be used to protect objectives, or to set up traps. Being alerted to their presence would also ruin their primary use. Therefore, I propose that their profile be lower than that of comparative equipment. Lore-wise, this could be because the transponders that allow remote detonation are not drawing as much power as say, an uplink that's making a mini-wormhole. Therefore, their profile would be lower than other equipment. In order to use remotes like death frisbees and not alert your enemy to what your doing, you'd have to make room to fit higher tier remotes.
I don't have the numbers in front of me as to what the equipment profiles are at each tier (on vacation) so if someone could post them I would be greatly appreciative. I'll formulate some possible numbers for REs once I know what the equipment profiles are.

If the proto sentinel i'm trying to blow up can scan my remotes, I won't be happy.

Then spec into higher tier remotes.

If he's trying to blow up a proto sentinel, obviously he's using high tier remotes.

Then the sentinel won't be able to scan them anyway.

No, because this affects people who place them more than people that chuck them.
Because, that's why.

But this makes placing them on vehicles far too difficult.
But perhaps a hack wheel of 3 seconds to set them off?

you think that is true but here is something funny. I know it is a crap fitting but caldari proto sentinel with 4 complex precision can see (short range though) a proto gall or cald scout with 2 complex damps while using a proto cloak. here is the real funny thing a proto gall logi and duvolle focused scanner can NOT scan that same scout.

If I can't scan REs in my scout suit, how can Heavies scan them?
The only way they know is if a teammate uses a team shared Active Scanner to scan the area.

what about cloaked remotes..... no im serious but not how you think.
when thrown they go into cloaked inactive mode after 1 sec. in this mode they cannot be detonated or seen/scanned but can be destroyed. as they are inactive they will do no damage on destruction.
when the user activates the RE they decloak and arm after a few secs. lets say 5 for now. during the arm time they and are visible to scans and sight. once armed they can be detonated at will.
what this gives us is an effective way to trap with RE but without the GMD's (grenades of mass destruction) coming back.
obviously there are many uses to RE that are not needing to be flinged at anything that moves so there should be different versions which allow for this.
quick arming after decloak but very short range - perfect for objectives
slow arming after decloak but large blast radius - perfect for traps
there is a remote for every play style and map
