Make traitors PDA Immune to the Detonamatrix

The issue with is that remembering to do it everytime XD

Also PDA messaging can be extremely useful for traitors/spies, such as communicating with others, setting up a trap with your target by messaging em via pda instead of radio so other people don't hear it, and probably some other uses I can't think of because I'm not creative.

Making it so detonamatrix doesn't affect traitors PDAs would remove such a frustrating scenario.

Also, it's a bit weird that an item created by the syndicate would allow you to sabotage a fellow syndicate agent so easily.

As to how the rework would work, my suggestion is something like, traitor PDAs can't be targeted by the detonamatrix, or maybe they can be targeted, but they don't explode, and it doesn't consume any use of the detonamatrix if you try to explode a fellow traitor's PDA.

Of course this is just my opinion and silly ideas, completely open to any suggestions, I hope a coder picks this up and tries to PR it or something, because good lord, is it annoying to "lose" your traitor/spy shift because your PDA is gone to a fellow antagonist.

If I'm not wrong, lorewise the syndicate is more of an alliance of different organizations rather than a single entity, therefore some agents may want to hinder other agents if they have a contradicting objectives. I'd opt for letting agents choose between having different types of uplinks, if you're paranoid about having your PDA blown up you could always just choose to have a different way to order your gear. This would also reduce security just snooping thru PDAs to get spief bounty knowledge or seeing how much TC you've used up/have left (yes I know it's a skill issue to not lock up a PDA after using it, but it happens very often to most people).

I'd love to be able to have either inconspicuous or ridiculous items used as uplinks, hope this may get added.

Honestly, yeah I would love to be able to use the headset uplink without having to take stoway, would be alot more insteresting and fun if you could use other items as uplinks.
