A rigger, at least, can be directly involved in the game, using R2 rules, in 
just about any situation.

And drones, cheaply outfitted with cheap guns, can provide a GREAT boost to 
firepower.  The only trick is, the GROUP needs to accept either (a) the 
Rigger getting a better *personal* pay-off deal, or the group POOLS their 
money, pays all expenses, and divides the rest evenly.  Otherwise the Rigger 
runs out of oh-so-expendable drones rather quickly.
