Default [Spaceships] Robot spacecraft

Spaceships will let me know the Complexity of a ship's computer, and thus what programs it can run.

What if it's doing things autonomously, either because it's a completely automated ship or because it is operating some sort of computer gunner program (the equivalent of a modern Phalanx mount)? Using Ultra-Tech terminology, a Non-Volitional AI or a Drone ought to be able to be programmed with Piloting or Gunner skills, but how much of a skill is it reasonable to expect – and while I can back-calculate the IQ of the governing program, what is the DX of the servo that operates the weapon mount when there's no human gunner in the loop?

(Yes, I do see the irony of my asking this. In Will to Live I could reverse-engineer these values from the original Robots/RoS stats…)
