I think it'd be interesting to remove the ability to broadcast on the general radio chat from most headsets. Keep most of the chat confined to just your coworkers.
Heads could still broadcast out to everyone for communications, Station bound radios and Intercoms would all still be able to broadcast to everyone, so the general public could still message the station as a whole if you were near one.
Some effects I think this would have
1. Make anatags more powerful: Less ability to communicate to a larger group of an immediate danger. Information would have to trickle up before the whole station could be alerted.
2. Control information flow. Heads become important in controlling messaging, alerting rest of station to situations in their departments. Staff assistants also become important, forming the largest information pool with the widest reach.
