You are concerned about your role in the team, complaining that you're not getting enough spotlight (Biotic Explosions getting overwritten by Tech Combos)
You are not contributing sandwiches (Biotic Explosions)
I make the sandwiches (Tech Combos)
and I'm not mad
See how I turn it around like that? Wow what a gift.
You're a dick. 
You're a dick.
It's taken years of practice 
Meh, I see Aetika's point. You play the adept for biotic combos. As far as efficiency, I don't guess it really matters that much that you're detonating tech combos even though they are generally a lot weaker and have less force than biotics. Still when you play a biotic you do so to create biotic explosions, I know that's perhaps selfish but **** it we're playing for our own personal entertainment; I can admit it's a little perturbing to me when someone fucks up my smurfplosion.

There are also kits that can enjoy autonomy from Tech Combos, such as the Justicar. Reave totally ignores any Tech on the stack, and will detonate the first Biotic Primer it finds.
A word of warning, though: Casting the Bubble WILL detonate Tech Combos, so please be careful where you place it.
Considering that we're playing for entertainment, is it really worth eating spam and getting bent over the type of explosions generated?
I know I'm guilty of focusing on the orange glow. Often it's on accident as I'll turn a corner see the orange and think ooh fire explosion and immediately pop a power or blast it without checking the full cue. At other times it's between an angry spawn or kill a lone target and run and survival instinct says take the path of least resistance. Even then ruined detonations, shooting the guy about to die instead of what's a threat to a teammate, ignoring a sync killer because you want to win the scoreboard lottery and it's grabbed the only guy who can beat you on the extraction wave and other but why moments are just part of the game. Obnoxious yes but IMO not worth getting upset about or I couldn't make it through a match without rage quitting.

If it bothers you so much, why not just keep track of the tech characters and attack something else? Them following you around intentionally trolling is one thing, but if they are just doing their thing and killing the enemy as quick as they can, than it's on you to play in a way where they don't annoy your preferences. I stay away from lamers and screenshakers to not be blinded or rage at their annoying noob cannons.
Also, if you are playing for biotic combos you probably have a light loadout and can still detonate a couple seconds later assuming the TB/ FE/ CE you just contributed to didn't kill the enemy (which is what I think people really get most bent about when making these complaints). If the tech character reprimes before your second attack, well they probably reached the target first in that case anyway.

I will fairly often focus fire on the orange glow that my own TSab creates. Getting a Pyro to stop and offer a profile view is too tempting of a headshot to ignore. Then I can always attempt to sab the next incoming threat.
Had a so-so outing vs Geth using my TSab yesterday. In the later waves, I always tried to sab the lead Prime brother. And this was deliberately done so he'd turn around and soak up ALL the hellfire my team could muster...right in the back of the ol' blinky flashlight. TTK seems faster that way.

It's perfectly possible on some maps. And like I said it's more an annoyance than anything else. It's like when you have a magnificent all Quarian lobby set up and one of your team disconnect and then you're stuck with a filthy synthetic geth on your team. Again just kind of annoying, if someone really pisses me off I go rocket bukkake on their spawns.
Hey, what was the record time for doing gold or plat with sabotage exclusively again?

I don't know that Plat is even possible with only sabotage.
When I saw this thread on Friday, I knew I'd have good reading material for Monday morning.
I see what you're saying OP .. for myself, I will many times target the hacked unit as A) it is easier to hit and B ) I assume it will have the explosion evo and I can damage other enemy units or C) it is a very dangerous, very perilous located unit (Hi Cerby turret!)
Like many players i've played with from BSN, we are an aggressive lot. I know where the enemies are going to spawn and I attack them, if I see them they are fair game.
I do like all biotic teams, although mixing biotic and tech combos is quite effective, especially when combining highly spammable powers (like Overload and Throw)
I find Sabotage to be a very effective power at eliminating the more dangerous situations you may encounter in this game. Now, I rarely use this power with more than 3 evo's in it, but it is very effective for survivablity.
Honestly, all the vitriolic criticism back and forth in this thread is funny, considering we are talking about a power you can re cast every 4 seconds lol

Sabotage is good when hacking a Cerberus turret, that thing is deadly. Also good for some laughs when a hacked atlas grabs phantoms for instakills(or when the turret downs atlases in seconds). Other than that I always kill sabotaged mobs.
I try to wait for hacked turrets to inevitably kill the Engineer that placed them (poetic justice and all that)
If I'm playing a kit that's capable of self-detonating BEs, anyone screwing my BEs regularly gets a huge boot kick vote up his ass. Just sayin'.

Let's make a thread about that as well, should be an interesting discussion.
People who do this are the worst. Especially when my scion or preatorian is murdering everything.
To be honest I still don't understand why a quarian couldn't hack reaper forces. Its advanced machinery sure, but the galaxies best technicians should be able to figure it out

Balance?
Balance?
Screw Balance. Hack ALL THE ENEMY FORCES! lol
Cerbies are husks at this point too. Hack them too!
And collectors are just reaper forces. THEY GET HACKED.
Now the QUARIANS ARE ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!

Don't Quarians have cybernetic implants? Hack them too.
Also: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL... of your NerveStim Pro
Last night my FQI w Valiant was getting very fug-in angry that OTHER people were shooting at her Orange Targets...She created the Orange Units specifically for herself to shoot at..Not you.....She is the only one allowed to shoot them, go find some other treasure elsewhere.
