I was watching James Bond movies a few days ago and it gave me an idea. A high level espi skill or feat. Bug comlink. To hear all conversations to and from that comlink and knowing the planet and room location of the comlink and from that, the location of the user.
In the movie he does it by having the person call a phone number on a business card and from then on he could monitor that cell phone from his specialized cell.
It would be a specialized espi comlink with a special channel number and encryption to have someone call you with, You would give them the number, not the comlink. It can be tuned into one comlink at a time but there can be a list of them in it to switch from. Once the being uses the number your hooked in and you can see all conversations they have on it even if they are on an encrypted channel. After the conversation is done you can copy it to data disks to send off, etc . It would also let the spy know the planet/room location of the comlink in real time. It would work like farsight. The special comlink can only be made by a spy, not an engineer. For balance I guess you need to put some limitations on it. Like battery life. etc. Think it over if you’d like.
I think a lot of ideas can be taken from the bond movies and put into the espionage class.

You lost me on your explanation.
This kind of thing is already roughly kind of done with microphones being slipped onto people, and ships.
Also with people who keep track of comlink frequencies and monitor them daily.Speaking of that, bring us makemicrophone, please.

I like the idea of bugging a comlink, but I’m not so sure about how you want it to work. I think the actual comlink item should be the bugged thing (that would probably be easier to code) rather than any comlink that contacts a certain channel. That also allows for the possibility of a counter-skill to find a bug on your comlinks.
Also also, this would create a greater need for disposable comlinks kinda like burn phones. And that would be awesome.

I would love a way to spy on clan chat even if its just one way. Hearing what soldier x says but no response.
