This adds on to the warren idea
New promoted idea: if we can move specialists, why can't we execute them?

Thief: converts 15% of the enemy's drillers to your side when attacking or sub to sub combat. Promotable to mercenary

Mercenary: is able to execute captured enemy specialists at his outpost. Upon execution, steals 10% of that player's neptunium (if applicable). Travels 3x slower than ordinary Subs and can only execute 1 specialist every 6 hours

What do you guys think

I also submitted a idea for a promoted Infiltrator - the Siege Master.
I like your idea but I don't think it needs the speed reduction or execution limit. Also, I don't see how Thief and Mercenary would be linked together: A man who specializes in sneaking in drillers suddenly knows how to behead people? It would make more sense as a promoted Assassin perhaps, and rename it Executioner.

Don't you mean "watch your opponent and get a chance to get his saboteur"?
Good idea, I like it, although this could lead to weird stacking problems:
If an enemy as a sentry in your spy's range, then you could get a sentry every hire as long as the sentry stays there - a total of 3 sentries in less than 3 days. I think that would quite unbalanced...
Also, what happens when there are more than 3 enemy specialists in your radar? Will you get more than 3 hires or will the selection be randomized and limited to 3?

Global: increases the radar rang of all outposts with specialists by 20%. Local: there is a 50% chance every 24 hours that at least one of your opponents specialists within a spy's outpost sonar range will have a 100% chance of being in your queens next available hire (he replaces one if the specialists in the hire screen). The odds of selecting a specialist goes down by 32
% for every specialist of that kind you already own. If the spy successfully performs his ability reduce the shield of his outpost to 0. If the spy is captured you may not launch subs with specialists for 12 hours.

Ok. This should make him a bit more balanced however it is now more confusing. I put a time limit, 50% chance, a negative effect when he is successful, and a terrible effect of he is captured. Your thoughts?

I think its too complicated. How will this fit in the specialist explaination box?
