NTSO I still feel is an issue because while security assistants are generally pretty new (less so on roleplay but still there to an extent), ntso is hos whitelisted and thus likely fairly robust and paying more attention, not to mention far better equipped then a secass. It could be interesting having security assistant scale to the amount of security officers in the shift (something like one sec ass slot being open for every two security officers, exception of 5 secoffs which will lead to 3 secass slots as normal), however I feel as if this would lead to new players taking security officer due to there not being enough security assistant slots available.
A far more radical solution would be to put a reverse round lock (ideally tied to the amount of secoff rounds played instead of total rounds played) on security assistants and therefore only have newer players to security be able to play security assistant. It is completely understandable for experienced security players to want to play secass for a low stress security round/unique roleplay opportunities, and something that I personally enjoy doing, however I can see it easily leading to issues. This change would likely make security officers feel far less overwhelming as now the slots available to competent security officers (exception of hos whitelisted people who can join far more often due to also being able to play hos/ntso) are nearly cut in half. If this change would be worth the cost of removing a fun job from a lot of people however, I do not know.
