Good point. I considered this mainly for large games (8-10 players) where the Demolitionist can quickly gain fallen territory as a means of fast expansion.
Perhaps this specialist promotes from the Infiltrator, so that when you're not tunneling against Security Chiefs, you're breaking drillers without a cause. A 10 shield drain effect would carry over (instead of 20).
