I've always imagined that units gaining suppression reductions

Bltizkrieg does this IIRC so it is possible

[Otto Halfhand]

It shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. AFAIK supression is cumulative. Suppression removal works at a constant rate. When the suppression threshold no longer is met the effects go away. Change the rate of suppression removal and you have the desired effect without removing the possibility of further suppression. Pinning I think may work similarly except that there is a minimum timer on the effect.

The ability only costs 50 munitions, and only makes them move faster so I don't have any problem with it.  It's no blitzkrieg ability, much less effective making up in early game availability and less cost.
