I was thinking about this whole thing more, and it's still not of much help, you know? Okay, so let's assume we see it pulsating or whatever on that guy in that enclosed tunnel area on Venus. That guy could have hit his triggers and activated it. The dude who killed him in that gif would have been dead. Why? Warlock has a ranged blast, Titan Hulk Smash leaps at you, and in the case of the Hunter, if they activate that before rounding the corner, all they have to do is fire in the general area of your pinky toe, miss, and still get the kill. Dunno.

Supers are whack, and seeing them coming from a distance is about the only way to survive them aside from just dumb luck. I found myself really only surviving them when in a Pike, Interceptor, or on the Sparrow. And by surviving, I mean against Titan and Warlock only.

I agree that the indicator isn't much help. I didn't even know it was there so for me it was no help. Even knowing about it I think you'll do far better buy assuming a Super and guarding against it by using your radar, keeping some distance, and avoiding running into tunnels than by spending time looking for a somewhat hard to see indicator.
