..well it sure as hell is now (at least in my mind.)

Actually I think, unless your going to specialise in shield strength, that you don't promote an inspector to security chief, the inspector+queen is a really good combo while attacking outposts, and its even better with the helmsman. I guess the only reason I'd promote to a security chief was if I somehow had 2 inspectors, but even then I don't promote sometimes (like in one of my current games)

I think something that might make the infiltrator better was if he was promotable with an ability similar to the generals.
His new effect would be that all specialists that attack an outpost drain 10 shield. It would give all other specialists an advantage when attacking, and now the infiltrator would drain 30 shield, instead of 20.

But then it's strictly worse than a general

Well it's not perfect. It would be better than the general in some aspects. For instance, you could take a generator that had 10 shield and no drillers with only 1 specialist. The general's effect wouldn't help in this situation at all.

I like the ideas of either giving him a speed boost when attacking outposts OR instead of a fixed number, have him drain 100% of shields. It would be a great alternative strategy to when someone is turtling their queen behind 50+ shield and you don't have a queen killer combination.
