Continuing on this line of thought, and improving on the idea, have the
hacking rigger do the following two things:

1. Invert the Smartlink protocols (if no smartlink, then modify the
recognition system for whom it can not shoot).

2. Have it ignore any further orders transmitted to it via it's radio.

This way the darn drone turns against it's original owners and really becomes
their problem.
