The Corrupter
Introduction
The Corrupter drains the shields of all enemy outposts in your sonar range by 2 units per hour. His flavour text is: Those who work for small things get big rewards in exchange.
Effects
Firstly, it will drain the shield of your enemies and your allies. This means that if you hire one without your allies knowing, this will annoy them, and even if they are told in advance it still cause them issues. This spec is like the tinkerer, but it works against others. This of course can help anyone attacking anyone else, meaning everyone near you is affected, so it's a very interesting specialists from the diplomatic side of things. When thinking about strategy, this helps your attacks you may be doing, meaning it's a purely offensive specialist, so not to be hired when you're on defence.

Thanks, Sheep

I think he just figured out how to color his text. I still didn't.

I think 1 unit per hour is a bit slow. It can be countered if there's 50+ sheilds. It should be 2 or 3 per hour. Or possibly it uncharges at double the rate it normally charges so every 24 hours.

Will it drain the shields to bases that belong to you? The way it is currently written makes it sound like it does, but I'm assuming it doesn't because then it would be terrible.

Here are my initial impressions:
Although this specialist would be fun to put on princess stacks, it does have some downsides. It is worthless on anyone with a king, since they don't have any shields. Also won't work well on people who are stacking shield since they would have an increased regeneration rate. It is mainly good for people who have the regular 10 to 20 shield, but at that point you might as well hire an infiltrator in order to save yourself a day of waiting.

I think it should give you the shields it gets from your opponent.
