This is in regards to the remote control idea:

Also not a bad idea here, returning drones to the safehoues instead of
letting them dangle out there to soak up damage.

Just a note on my previous comment. The idea for giving a bonus for
having technical was that it could be possible for riggers with technical to
find other ways to re-establish the comm link, like switching the frequency
or using an infrared signal. More like having the ability to counter-act
the enemy's countermeasures on the fly, I guess.

Also just an opinion.
