No.

I must defend my crutch with all my might.

Sike. Only OHKO weapon (that can be resupplied) should be PLC for light weapons.

Or a defense against the infamous nyain stomp.
quarrels aside, REs are from the weapon skill tree and will be treated as such.
grenades are from the weapon skill tree and shall be treated as such.

Yokal, WTF bro? Your in some ****** "new" corp putting down my RE's and saying that they should not be restocked...WTF?
Yes they are equipment, but they are the only equipment able to handle YOUR heavy spam and for point defense. Any smart merc worth his salt is able to spot these RE's and destroy them leaving you possibly vulnerable to about 4 reds. The ability to restock them is a necessity. Just because some spam doesn't mean everyone does. If I complained every time I was killed by core locus or some other spamable POS I'd be a fvcking billionaire. ...also, miss you in corp bro.

I view the Boundless HMG as no balls

I'm not convinced the Dust team sees anything wrong with remotes. Just because you're crying about them doesn't make them OP or some sort of win button. RE's are a leveller and very helpful when some idiot tryhard corp is stomping all the newbs on your side.

In fact I would wager that more than a few callow blues have ended up sticking with the game after seeing the platoon of heavies who've just shot them to bits for 5 minutes get blown to pieces by a skilled RE operator.

Saying RE's are OP is like saying HMG's are OP - both weapons working as intended. Both come with risks...

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

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?

What do you mean by "abused"? What you mean is that they are killing you every so often... They also kill me every so often. I feel rage when it happens. I don't call for them to be nerfed, banned, made unusable... just like I don't care that the HMG mows down everyone in it's path. It makes perfect sense to me that each weapon is deadly in certain situations. You only get 2 or 3 remotes per suit so what's the big deal?

If people are hanging around hives and spamming remotes and you've seen it - then you need to find a way to take them down.

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

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)

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

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

I like how your crying but saying your not crying to the people that point out your crying. Always keep it professional.

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

Ill be back my blood sugar is dropping.
