I also use a lot of green radars.
I think I will be increasing the blue radar cost. It doesn't seem all that overpowered to me, but it certainly has some room for improvement.
The way I use the red radar is I carry one with me while traveling, and I keep either some solar panels or a burner generator (KS Power) with me to power the radar. It's actually not that hard to power it, and based on Drakoman's suggestion and my own experience using it, I am considering raising its power cost. It's very useful to explore a larger area, to see further past obstacles than your character's vision allows. Also, you don't have to fully power it to make it work well. Even with only 10% power it'll still scan once every 5 seconds. It's energy cost per scan is very low.
