Comms agent font, verb and high volume changeability

[cacogen]

Do you think comms agents and syndicates with voice changers should be able to change the font of their voice, the verbs they speak with and toggle high volume so they can impersonate the crew more convincingly? It's currently obvious when they are impersonating a silicon, head, or non-human because the font, volume or speech verbs are wrong.

Comms agent has the ability to cause enough mayhem without having access to GIANT COMIC SANS TEXT

High volume definitely (maybe just give them a megaphone), not speech verb and font though, it's kinda dumb and would probably need a lot of shitcode to do

I can make the RD blow the borgs within 5 minutes 9 out of 10 times I'm a comms agent. They don't need to be more powerful, forging PDA messages is already insanely robust

OT, but he's too fucking annoying to be just spawner. He should be normal antag.

People underestimate the power of this. I have gotten an AI to give away its position after moving during a nuke ops round just by pretending to be someone they were talking to earlier and asking where they were.

Just being able to "boy who cried wolf" antag call outs is fucking crazy powerful for team antags like cult, rev, or nuke ops.

An underestimated ability of comms agents is their ability to turn off the messaging server, especially if they just sent an incriminating PDA message. Harder to confirm if it was a forged message or not that way

Bring back old telecoms. I liked seeing people sabotage it so when you said certain words, they came out as different words. Like every time someone said captain, it'd be replaced with comdom.

I know it can literally break the game, but it's so much fun.
