About The Pull Request

The incursion radio implant is given to all members of the incursion team, as they spawn, which grants them all access to the syndicate radio frequency. Not only does this allow for all members, which can reach 6 people, to communicate right away, but also communicate securely right away. This PR removes that free syndicate radio implant.

Why It's Good For The Game

We have seen that the Incursion is somewhat powerful when they have enough or competent members. This levels the playing field, requiring them to use the same methods of locating each other as regular traitors do with keywords, at least until they can acquire some secure channel. It will also slow down their progression by forcing them to at least meet in person, adding some additional risk of being found not doing their duties.

This is dumb and removes the only sensible communication method, not to mention they can't even buy the syndie radio key. It shatters all functional communication. Incursion members can flat out ignore the other ones now since if you can't locate or PDA each other there's no communicating privately. Also, incursionists don't get codewords, even if they did this would not help anything since you already know your teammates, you just can't find each other. Arranging a meeting over radio or PDA is fundamentally insecure and gives sec a great way to identify literally every incurisonist early on by checking message monitor or looking for "Hey X, where are you, come here" on the radio.
