Is it possible to insert a Pilot as the OS of a commlink and/or device?
No, Pilots are a specialized type of OS designed to semi-autonomously control a specific device. The Pilot for a rotordrone, for example, is not going to have any clue how to operate a car or a toaster oven — it’s simply not programmed for those capabilities and features. (At the gamemaster’s discretion, a Pilot may be used as an OS, but the more dissimilar the device is from the Pilot’s intended purpose, the more inefficient or incapable it will be — reduce ratings and/or apply dice pool modifiers as appropriate.
