And if not, do I actually have to grapple someone to use a prisoner's mask on them? Because said mask stops Mesh access, right? Meaning that if I manage to put it on someone, they'll be able to call for help?

And I see. So there's a difference between actually being located and actually being seen. That's useful. How likely is muzzle flash to give me away? And does distance negatively modify my enemy's perception checks?

You really need to give me some sort of stealth role in the first mission, I want to test this out.

Maybe, but it'll be more overhearing a "UAAGHAANEAHGHAKE" than them calling for help.

Sneaking and "Automatic bursts from mach 6 weapons" does not compute. You could try this in vac... MAYBE. Hey, those 'useless' lasers don't make noise and have stun settings, don't they?

Yes, if you knock out their communications by throwing a high tech (space age!) paper bag over their head, they can't communicate. Just be sure they aren't Wolverine first. (I have it on good authority that grappling an angry fury is bad news)

Pretty likely unless you have a suppressor. Distance... Not so much. Anyone with specs or enhanced vision (IE: Anyone who has business carrying a gun) has 75x zoom anyway. Provided they don't see you though, it's -30 to -60 to blind fire a location, if they're not smart enough to just pepper it with seekers. When in doubt, level everything.

HM! Stealth... Well, I was going to let the diplomats and beaker heads have the spotlight for now, but we'll see what happens.

I like Spectre already. He's a direct guy, and I think I can be direct back without hurting the feelings he doesn't have.
