Personally, I don't like the radar ability. Before they consider having a Gal not show up how about making a cloaker not freaking show up?

Perhaps the radar should just be ditched and something better put in place:

Remove the radar completely but make "local" area alerts when a door gets hacked... say make it have a certain percentage chance to trip an alert with the odds favoring the hacker more for having the hacking cert and more still for having the adv hacking cert.

Now rather than every fewl on the map see the enemy sneaking in or driving/flying neadby you have a chance to actually sneak in... and have a chance to trip a specific silent (only alerts the base defenders) alert "Back door hacked and breached!" or "CC room door hacked and breached!" etc.

The radar eliminates cat and mouse type sneaking and ambush setting and just allows rush together and blast away tactics. Plus it gives away too much information... "Ground flood tower door hacked" would be a more fun alert as you would not know what exactly to expect... with the radar BS you see a MAX and an infantry guy... so you surge in with your HA while he is hacking and kill the hacker and then know EXACTLY where the MAX went for perfectly timed decimator hit and runs... where is the fun in that?
