If you know them all, someone who doesn't bother with them isn't likely to know many.

true enough but i like hotkeys so i try to learn them all (it helps for games that you lose control of your mouses ability to click) Unfourtnaly not everything in FO has a hotkey.

Since hotkeys are an issue... Why not an ability like the GUI scrambler but instead it disables the target players ability to do anything for 5 seconds?

Let's call it disabling subspace communications. 20% chance the romulan spy can essentially disable the subspace communications network. Effectively rendering the target enemy player incapable of issuing orders to anything on the battlfield for 5 seconds.

Might be a bit op, but with tweaking could be pretty cool ability for romulans.

Since it's likely to be random, I doubt it would be OP. Only the player would know when it happens so no-one can intentionally take advantage of it.

Either crazy screen or disable is fine with me.

Eh, I'd say disabling the player's ability to do anything is a bit too much.  I'd rather see something like a chance of the spy disabling the IFF and comms, making it look like the ship had mutinied.  So suddenly, it's getting shot at as the computers update its status in the tactical displays as a hostile.
