There seem to be two views of riggers; riggers as vehicle operators and
riggers as drone operators. I personally don't think a vehicle operator
is usually needed enough to keep them on a team full-time; few teams
do panzer runs across the NAN on a regular basis. I do think that a
drone operator can be a very valuable member of a running team, both for
pre-run scouting and during-run observation, patching, and distraction.
Of course, another thought is that 'teams' as presented in the
literature are a really strange concept for a continuing, episodic
campaign. Perhaps a more interesting way to play would be something akin
to Ars Magica, where everyone has a selection of inter-linked characters
and the ones you play today are the ones most suited to the current job
you've been hired to do.
