Virtual Pilots, 2nd edition... the sections about the Space Exocomps and Geth will be mostly stay unchanged.

Virtual Pilots
»Yes, thats my new space fighter... no, it doesn't have a cockpit. Why waste space on cockpit and life support?«
- heard on Jenga in 2027
»Its like KoFen in real life!«
- Cortana about the Virtual Pilot system in 2026
Virtual Pilots were first introduced by Catgirl Industries in 2026. While the company relied mostly on drones of all kinds for their security, they could easily see the advantage of having a pilot for a power armor or space fighter. Unwilling to rethink their whole design philosophy or using dedicated AIs for these weapons, they began to apply a new generation of Mindtech systems on in larger numbers.
Remote Avatar System
The system was originally tested in Jengas virtual cyberspace. It use a helmet similar to most Catgirl Industries Mindtech systems that is specialized to interpret and replace the 'external interfaces' of both motor and sensory cortex of the brain. It can also query low level memories to simulate the effects of muscle memory and reflexes.
Usage with drones
The Virtual Pilot system is just the same technology, downsized enough to be mounted in a drone body. Drones with the Virtual Pilot system do not contain a cockpit systems or even life support. Instead of having room for a biological pilot, they have an extended internal computer system and a redundant set of sensors to be used as the mechanical avatar of the catgirl. A dedicated quantum entanglement box connects the virtual pilot system with the control bench.
The catgirl pilot lies on a sleeping bench outside the drone and use the helmet to connect herself to the computer system of the drone. While she is controlling with the drone, the biological body is kept in a sleep-like state to prevent the catgirl from hurting herself.
The first two drone system equipped for Virtual Pilots were the Space Exocomps and the Geth series combat bots.

(edit) Decided to remove the flight capability from the Geth.
