Riggers are perfect for surveillance type scenarios. You might suggest that
your players get rid their big armored vehicles for more drones. The groups
could specialize in tracking visiting dignitaries and such. Drones are also
incredibly handy for assassination attempts. (Now I have visions of a
cockroach size drone with a nurotoxin injector, Man I love riggers!)

On the other hand, a smuggler campaign could also be good for the group. A
T-bird run to Denver is natural for multiple riggers (Driver, Navigation,
Weapons, etc.). Pick up the Smuggler Havens scorcebook for some good adventure
ideas.
