Strategy, feedback, or anything SUBTERFUGE-related
Tue Jun 07, 2016 10:04 pm

  • Specialist name: Hacker
    Promoted from: Intelligence Officer
    Symbol: Fedora
    Local:While stationary, the sonar range of any foreign outpost within Hacker's visibility is reduced by 50%
    Global: Adds 15% sonar range to all outposts
    Any thoughts or suggestions? Anything is fine! (Don't have specialist quote yet!)

  • I love the idea of the symbol being a fedora!


    Uh, I'm not too experienced in the mathematicaliness that comes with increasing the sonar range by a certain percentage. I'll leave all those calculations to the pros. This is the type of stuff I imagine they love arguing over.
    Zyxe? Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time.

  • 50% is way too high, and I doubt this hacker will be created because it doesn't follow the games theme.

    Instead, a different name which decreases enemy's outposts (within hackers outpost sonar range) sonar range by 15%. It should also be a specialist on its own, other than promoting from the intelligence officer.

    I think this way it would be way underpowered and get outclassed by Intel Officer, who isn't considered to be a great specialist anyway.
    Imagine how stupid the average person is. Then realize that half of the people are even stupider than that.

    15% reduced sonar range and subs coming in and out of the outposts (within hackers range) are slowed by 20%

    And I personally think Intel officer is one of the best specialists. You can't fight an enemy you can't see...
