Technomancer Rigger, compiles a rating 4 Machine Sprite (Autosoft: Gunnery) and sticks it into a drone.

Now this sprite can roll its 8 dice to let loose with weapons. But could the sprite also take the Autosoft: Maneuver if the drone has it, and use it to give it 7 dice on maneuver now (vs previous 6 dice). Do agents/IC/sprites benefit off of being VR (even though thats the only way they act), and get the +2 bonus for VR?

I'm just wondering if sprites would be able to make use of Autosofts already loaded in drones? I can't remember seeing anything that limited sprites to only using their Complex forms, but would they be like Technomancers and not have their skill? In the case of autosofts, they are the skill so it wouldn't be an issue here.

If I buy high rating autosofts, then my sprite would be able to use them at its rating, since its replacing the pilot of the drone (which would be significantly lower).

Goal here is to Sprite rig a drone without having to compile a rating 9 sprite for targeting, maneuver, and defense. (Not even including ECM and clearsight)
