An armed drone with the rigger jumped into it is the same as a normal car the
rigger is jacked into. So the smartlinks should, by the rules, work in all
cases of direct rigger control. Sharpshooter, I believe, is the only way to
enhance a captain chair drone's ability to fire, other than straight Pilot
upgrades.
