Genetics Changes

Yeah, that's fair enough, hearing ghosts would reveal antags pretty quickly, and I doubt any amount of drawbacks would balance that out. The emag field/overclocked brain I suspected would be unbalanced too, but wanted to air for the sake of fun; I like the idea of an undirected emag effect that could just as easily help you or hurt you. Maybe if it didn't open doors? I do like the mutadone only solution for rapid fossilisation though.

Another concept I've been trying to balance is the idea of a spirit walk; when activated you become a ghost (although unable to hear ghost chat for reasons previously addressed) and can scout around and see what's happening nearby. Your body is left completely vulnerable though, with a message saying your eyes have gone blank to indicate you're on a spirit walk and haven't disconnected. People could get around that though by finding a good hiding place to spirit walk from, so I was thinking about the possibility of allowing ghosts to steal the vacant body, either straight away or after a certain amount of time, depending on balance, with automatic messages popping up in ghost chat popping up in intervals indicating where the free body to steal is.

i think the ghost-hearing would be pretty fun

like if it were just a random word from a random dead guy or just take a word from the next 5 people who talk and turn it into a nonsense sentence
