I'd say that the rigger doesn't have make a position test and he has as many
attacks as he has complex actions. The rigger doesn't have to spend a compex
action to comntrol his vehicle, though he has to spend one to control the
remote turret before he gets to fire with it.
As for firing all the weapons he is carrying on the turret I think that
depends whether he is firing through his sensors or optically.
The only modifiers a rigger gts when firing through sensors are somewhere
in a table in the section that talks about sensors (sorry don't have a RBB with me :) ),
so I guess firing with more than one weapons (including
vehicle mounted fixed arc weapons) or more than one targets doesn't get
any modifiers.
