I agree with the awareness cone needing to be reduced from 360degrees to maybe 90(cone of sight) or 180(include peripheral vision). Hearing could account for some of the spotting you while dead-behind them...but a lot of the areas have large fans and other machinery. That should give them some negative to hearing you.
A spotter cooldown would also be a welcome change. If I'm sneaking past a guy and bring him up to yellow, then quit moving and he doesn't start walking towards me, his alertness should drop. I figure hitting "focused" while in stealth should cause a slow alertness degrade in people not looking directly at you or already in combat.
Now...for the NPC's that are actually high level psychics, I can see them having 360 perception and the ability to alert everyone instantly without making a sound as to exactly where you are and what you are doing. Though you should be able to counter that with your own psychic power.
