I mean that since riggers operate remote turrets like drones, they have to
spend one complex action to move them, just to retain control of them. Rigger
characters with initiaves of 20 and lower will never have the chance even
to shoot with their turret. They have to spend one action to operate the
vehicle they are in and one action to operate the turret.
