Pro-Pickpocketing Suggestion
#1
I think it would be interesting if, instead of putting a "stripped" item on the floor when removed from a person, it went into the hand of the person doing the stripping (assuming that that hand is empty, of course).

Maybe we could also remove stripping people with items in hand. I mean, honestly, how the hell does "Trying to put a baton" on someone take off their jumpsuit? What ungodly baton technique can strip someone of all their gear?

Basically, it'd force you to prioritize what you're stripping and force you to find a secure area by making you strip items one at a time, while also streamlining taking things from people.

Also, I'd like pickpocketing people to possibly be made more stealthy? Maybe emptying someone's pockets (into your hand) could be made to not alert bystanders of what you're doing, and also only alert the person being pickpocketed in unbolded red text that might more easily be missed if it shows up while you're doing something else.

So, in summary, this is two suggestions...

Suggestion One: "Stripping" people should require an empty hand, and put said stripped item in your hand when complete

Pros:
+ Taking things from people is more secure, less chance of bystanders nabbing gear that they're not supposed to have (unless you ripped off their jumpsuit, of course)
+ Stripping people takes longer than 3 seconds and gives people more time to react to being stunned and then laid bare
+ You can take something from someone's hand into your own hand ( "Here, hold this for me!")
+ Makes more sense from a logistics point of view (How do I take someone's pants off with a tomato?)

Cons:
- Taking things from people may become a bit of a chore
- May or may not be hard to code
- Kindof an unnecessary change; I think it'd be cool but this isn't really to "fix" anything in particular

Suggestion Two: "Pickpocketing" people should be less obvious and not announced to anyone but the person being pickpocketing

Pros:
+ Fricken cool. Be a master thief!
+ See above! A MASTER THIEF

Cons:
- Might be hard if not impossible to code
- Again, kindof unnecessary. Not really a "fix" to anything in particular, just something I think would be neat.
