Interesting idea, K.

Why not take it to its logical conclusion? If you can have a drone
covering you, why put yourself at risk at all? Why not have a drone
doing the sniping as well?

In a well-equipped world, snipers will be phased out by riggers as the
riggers are simply more versatile and aren't risking their hides.

Of course, I personally hate the idea. I REALLY like my adept sniper.
