Personally I think some of the ideas in this thread should be incorporated into the ACTUAL nuke-op mode.
Like someone said previously, the pin-pointer as it stands seems a bit lame, replacing it with the heat style pinpointer would actually drag out the nuke-op round a little. Normally "dragging a round" out is bad, but in this case, it's good because nuke-op rounds normally end with the captain dying too damn quickly.
I've always preferred the idea of nuke being deployable and being moved to the station (possibly with a cargo transporter, or via a pod) instead of "ha-ha we got the disk, now err'body's going to die". Would be far more thrilling imo.
As far as this new suggested mode: You have my approval. This sounds what Spy should be, if you get it just right.
I adore the idea of them meeting up, unlocking their shit with the code that they all share, and then undergoing their plans. Here's my suggestions
1. I don't think they should have a headset or pda contact. I think at round start they should be given a destination (somewhere that all can access) and a time to meet such as
"Meet at the Jazz room at 05:00". Seems way more stealth-like. From there, they can hatch a plan, and get a secure link between them. Would actually be useful now to hack headsets.
2. I support Weavels idea about having a special emote. Give them an agent card (aswell as the heatseeker pinpointer) at round start too, as suggested. Incorporate the emote into the agent card, so that the emote only works if you are wearing the agent card. Something like *syndi should do the trick. Make it randomised each round would be pretty funny.

3. As far as the Syndicate up-link radio is concerned I'm going to go out on a limb and say that All job specific items are accessible. To balance this, only 20 tele-crystals are allocated for the team of 6
If they want to go slightly un-stealthy and get shotguns, then that's fine but they'll only have 2 between all of them. They'll need to pick their items wisely.
My 2c.Replace spy with this
