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.

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.

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...
