    Scenario: A Marut and a Danavas are within hacking range of each other, not being in ARO range of any enemy.

    Order 1: Marut declares Move (Dismount) -Idle, placing the Karkata Remote Pilot next to it.
    Order 2: Danavas declares Assisted Fire on the Karkata, who is a REM and thus a viable target.
    Order 3: Karkata declares a Move(Mount)-Idle, switching out it's profile to the Marut's and transferring it's SUPPORTWARE and MARKSMANLV2 markers to the Marut, since switching profiles retains markers as it is the same trooper remounting their gear.

    Question: Do the supportware programs check if the target is a REM after they have been activated? I did find that the REM going into Isolated/Null/Disabled did not cancel supportware, as the Hacker is the one you need to inflict those status effects on to stop the supportware. Did i overlook anything? As far as i can read it, the only time where the 'ware checks wether the target is a REM is in the order declaration.

    While the Datatracker status is shared between a TAG and its pilot/Remote pilot (even if the remote is destroyed), phasing the Supportware from one to another is quite... hard to justify. The target of the supportware was the karkata, which is a remote, meaning that mounting again on the Marut will result in a Marut which can release later a Karkata with supportware, but the TAG itself won't get the benefits of the supportware (because it was not the target of the supportware, and because that supportware is not valid on TAGs).

    So use Spotlight / Forward Observers to "buff" your Marut instead :p

    Under the effects Enhanced Reaction grants the target REM (not trooper) burst 2 in ARO.

    Assisted Fire grants the target REM (not trooper) MM2.

    Even if you ended up running either on a a non-REM trooper, the effects of the Supportware still only apply to REMs.
