      A good feat for people with medium-high espi levels would be comlink silence. People can’t see or hear you whisper into a comlink. You get stopped by the empire. You whisper for backup so some troops can help you. They don’t see your comlink whispers or hear you if you are on a ship. I can see this being useful for many people.

      Suggestions and whatnot are appreciated.

      To stop it being really, really annoying I’d suggest it just bump the action down one ambience level, so it’s silent if the room is loud or average, but you see them whisper into it if the room is quiet, you just don’t hear what they say.

      Actually, unless it’s like the middle of a crowded square, i’m pretty sure they’d see your mouth moving so.

      I think that’s the purpose of the skill. You can disguise the action of talking into a comlink as something else, or be able to do it so that people cannot normally notice.

      This idea has been brought up a couple times, Ilyena’s suggestion barely an hour before she posted it <!– s:D –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!– s:D –>

      Walldo’s response was the ambience coding needs a rework before we can even see anything like this going in, search the forums for espionage feats and you’ll see polar opposite and similar ideas.
