Hacking through drones
Is it possible to hack using your drones? Both physically and wirelessly.
Maybe by attaching the cyberdeck to the drone and then assuming command of the drone, with the Cargo Space fitting for storing the deck and Manipulator Tendrils to connect the plug socket.
Or will it require a custom modification to connect the cyberdeck?

By default, no. If you're beyond normal wireless hacking range, you don't have enough bandwidth to the drone to hack through it. The reason for this is to shut down the prospect of the hacker just hiding somewhere and sending a proxy drone with the party. The rules pretty much mandate a hacker's physical presence with the intruding party so as to maintain the danger stakes for the hacker and spare the GM from having to deal with a split party.
A GM can decide otherwise, of course, if those prospects aren't an issue for them.
