Lock NTSO until HoS dies?

[Katzen]

I've played NTSO and it's a fun role, nice to be the trusted assistant to the HoS but it does have valid hunter vibes with the special equipment and further stacks the sec team with another experienced player with special gear.

What about going with the specialist theme and only open the slot as security "backup" when the HoS is dead?

Potential problems:

• Would it make them appear even more of a valid hunter role?
  
• Is it too much round information that anyone seeing a NTSO knows it means the HoS is dead? Sec at least tends to know if the HoS died.
  
• Would they be too rare? We do have a bunch more HoS players now so there is potential for late joiners.
  
• HoS is a priority to get cloned by sec. Would the NTSO just end up appearing in a round and then the HoS reappears?
  

Edit: I should have put this in another thread as we ended up with too many about NTSO
