Comparatively speaking, an emag costs the same as a deluxe mindslave implant but a deluxe mindslaved HoS is ***far*** better than an emag. Who needs to emag doors open when the HoS can just give you AA? Who needs to break open sec gear closets and crates when you can be given a token? A C-saber costs more and anyone would want a mindslaved HoS more than a C-Saber. Hell, even just 20 minutes of HoS mindslave from a regular implant can be argued to have more value than a c-saber.
Also, how can the HoS player fight back against this? What tools do they have? What counters are there to literally just pulling something out and instantly clicking on them? Yes a deluxe costs a lot, but it shouldn't be practically an instant win when you buy it and do something as simple as walking by the HoS and clicking on them.
The issue to me doesn't seem to be that it costs a lot, but that it's far too much bang for your buck for how trivial it is. Granted, total immunity to mindslaves definitely is worse, but 0 resistance to them is definitely not great. The HoS is deliberately never/extremely rarely an antag for a reason.
