I would like to agree with you but I just cant, even medium suits are running close to 1000eHp I cant kill them with rifles in my scout suit. And trust me Bob is that is your name, Adamantium never lies and remotes are difficult as hell to use.
Why dont you try using them. I get killed by HMG guns but dont complain as much.
I did screw a dude over earlier today maybe it was you lol:
I saw him he was strafing like hell and I didnt have a flaylock
So I dropped 3 remotes in form of a triangle around him and fled and denoted it.
Funniest kill ever, just because of that I am ordering a video card to record such Lol moments
Try using a remote explosive myself, even heavies can jump over the blast. Its too situational

Try using a remote explosive myself, even heavies can jump over the blast. Its too situational I have to disagree my old scout/combat rifle melted assaults and heavies alike (situation depending of course as always). No that was not me. I have used remotes, but I only put them on point for defence. In all honesty I wouldn't mind them being restocked if they could not be thrown like frizbees, most of the time you can't even see where its landed.
I beg to differ in a gun fight a scout that isnt using modded controllers or some weird strafing exploit cannot take out a 1000 eHP medium suit.
Remotes are very easy to see like has been suggested
1 Fluxes objectives
2 Use scanners
it cost just 18k SP for a scanner
And you should really read your post. You are trying to get other players to use remotes the exact way that you use them. Thats limiting others and removing variety from the game.
You can't do that. In a game that you can die in under a second from weapons, you want remotes to take 3 seconds to setup?
You should be realistic my friend.
When you have 2 heavies and a logi repping team defending an objective. Only a fool would attack them with a rifle. The remote is a counter that is working well. And the delay is pretty annoying if you ask me but its a tradeoff that I accept.

Anything can be easy if done right but more than often I have detonated remotes on heavies and they dont die or dont take damage. The delay is a fair trade off and I cant fault it.
I use remotes in another way, I simply place them on walls and have enemies kill themselves.
But seriously I should stop trying to convince you without hearing you out.
How do you think remotes should work?

How do you think remotes should work? In 1 of 2 ways Either they cannot be thrown like frizbees or; They cannot be restocked without changing suits at a supply depot
The frisbee thing is more like an exploit as the jumping and shooting with a shotgun. I believe you need to jump to throw far.
I dont throw remotes like frisbees because I use a controller and not a mouse so I can be so accurate. I think its just an option. If we can run at the speed of a horse we should be able to throw remotes far
The remote explosive is a weapon, it is just put in an equipment slot, its like saying that we should not be able to restock grenades from hives either.
I think classifying remotes as the explosives that they are by putting them in the grenade slot solves the problem
I think Flux grenades and remote explosives swapping places solves the issue

If there was a need to run at full seed then that would cause inaccuracy thus making it viable and my arguments void.
I dont understand you but my point is this , with 3 complex kin cats on a min scout, the attainable sprint speed in real world numbers is godly

I do not mind getting killed by anything. The main problem is that they can be thrown so far. My suggestion (as always open to debate and opinions) was to stop those who spam them constantly.
Making them not thow-able or restocked neither makes them unusable, but more situational (as with any suit/weapon/vehcile).
Also, I normally try to, but as I solo mostly, sometimes that is just hard to do.
When you say "spam them constantly" I assume you mean that you've seen these mercs hanging around by hives to replenish and staying put. How hard is it to take these guys out?? Surely just shooting them is the answer no? You can't throw RE's far enough to outrange any kind of rifle or even most sidearms. The notion that you can throw them "like frisbees" is frivolous. You can't. They drop to the ground almost immediately. Frisbees glide through the air for ages and ages then slowly descend to a stop. Completely different - and actually not a bad idea for a new weapon (or piece of equipment that replenishes like a weapon)  That or they carry hives and do the same thing elsewhere, but yes sometimes if they are too high up or hiding while throwing them, they can be a pain to deal with. Thing is, is once one person sees them at it others join in, the ones you kill go back and carry on. To be honest Ain't nobody got time fo dat. You can throw them quite far, not to the range of rifles admittedly, but far enough. I once watched one float the whole lengh of the city once (yes I was amused so I followed it). It was never detonated and assumed it was a one off, not seen it happen in such extremeties since. Oh I'm easily amused btw xD
Maybe its just a bug, and bugs are a plenty in dust. Remotes usually dont go that far. You can make a video to prove me wrong

Aye aye sir o-o7 Also, i like remotes, a lot, but ive cut back because strafing isnt muscle memory yet and you dont usually need a remotes for one guy, thats what knives are for. Yeah its embarrassing ive been here since 1.4 and im just learning to strafe. -_- Better late then never! o7
I met a strafing Caldari medium suit and simply placed three remotes around him and blew him up. Maybe it was you :P
