I hear you man...
Here are some tips.
Dont lay RDX on the consoles, its great if you can, but often idiots will just stand too close and punish, and consoles go down pretty quickly anyway.
If you can play with a squad and it's only your squad in the corridor, use the squad chat rather than team chat, they listen better to squad messages. Also while on your way to the titan in the APC or gun ship, let them know your recon with RDX, use in game VoIP. Try your best, if it fails at least you tried, if someone RDX's and TK's without warning and without trying to warn then they deserve to be kicked.
If there is only 1 console left, try standing by the entrance to the core, you can often be the first one in the core and get one set of RDX in before anyone else enters the room.
Also if you RDX the side of the core closest to the enemy entrance there is a much lower change of TK's.
As a random tip to all players, if you are shooting the core, sooner or later someone is gong to run in front of you and get TK'ed, this sucks as often there is nothing you could have dont about it.
Try not standing with you back right against the wall, if you leave other players room to go behind you they MAY not run in front of you, also instead of aiming at the head height part of the core, aim for the one close to the ceiling, you do as much damage but as you are shooting up not across there is less chance of TK'ing anyone.
One last tip is for engineers, when firing your AT rockets at the core, zoom in and aim, then zoom out again, AT rockets have no recoil so if you dont move then you will hit the exact same spot again, but by zooming out you have a much better idea of what is going on around you, be that people RDX'ing the core, or enemies have run in and started knifing people.
I hope this info helps.
