I say yes if:
You have an displaylink to.
Use it only to watch the drones output.
If you have an encephalon too, you could write a program that runs in it,
so you can let the program do some of your commands for you.
example: Survailance prog, When program runs the drone sends you the sensor
data to your deck, displays it with your displaylink.
Simple action to cahnage the drones survailance traget.
Can I be in a firefight and use my action to give one of my
>drones an order?
I say yes.
In direct command mode always, but you get +8 to all other actions, like
the jacked in decker.
If not in anymode, you need to connect first to the drone, so you need more
than one action to give the drone a command.
Or you can use the program thing from above to handle the direct drone control
for you, so that you need only one action to tell the program what you want.
How "out of it" are you while in Captain's Chair mode?
I would go for +6, slightly better than running a direct link to the drone.
