First off. Turning revolution into rev gang vs loyalist gang sounds like a bad idea. Revs are bad, loyalists are good, from the crew perspective, adding ambiguity such as allowing loyal crew to purposely become revs is bad.
I don't think that revs or rev heads need specific equipment to hide their identities, problems with the revolutionary side usually stem from the rev heads running all round at top speed flashing people with their face uncovered. They can easily find a gas mask and remove their ID, but few do, and they get easily outed. Rev's technically are supposed to take orders from Rev Heads, but I rarely see Rev Heads take any sort of leadership role. Or even stick around anywhere long enough so revs can bring people to them to turn. I think that the "solution" here is just more experience with rev or a change in mindset so that players know that rev heads can be stealthy and revs should be at the beck and call of Rev Heads.
As far as improvements goes. I think that adding a loyalty implant overlay with sec HuDs was a far bigger buff to the loyalists than I originally thought. So here's my pitch for dealing with that:
- Revert the revving to be instant like it used to be years ago. Either on the first flash, or the first flash that knocks em down.
- Use the current revving progress bar for turning loyalty implanted crew. Make it take 15-20 seconds, so you'd have to have someone else with you to keep em still while you use the rev flash to "burn out" the loyalty implant, destroying it. Make it so the Rev Head that is doing the turning can't keep flashing them without interrupting the progress bar.
