Exactly...
Look at it this way. The card itself is a 1/3 Drone, it has an ability to receive recon
at a cost of 2 nuyen. It doesn't give the rigger the ability to recon, but the rigger
still has to use his skill to control the drone. In other words, a rigger still uses one
of his alloted piloting skills for the turn if he uses the drone, but he doesn't have to
turn, much the same way a decker can nuke an electrical challenge with a Crash, but he
doesn't have to turn himself to do it.
Another way to think of it is this: a Vindicator says that it gives the user a +4/+0, it
also says "4 nuyen: burst fire", now the user doesn't recieve the ability to
burst fire (unless of course he had a bunch of burritos the night before), the gun does.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
