The rules for computers state that one can be programmed to use a device it is linked to, using skill ranks= its rating as per the Control module on page 215. Does this mean a starship's main computer could be upgraded in such a way that it could control the guns/fly the ship around?
To take your question on a tangent - could starships be Player Characters?

While not mentioned in the book, one would assume A.I's could control starships. It would be a cool concept for a campeign to set in a post Rise of the Robots scenario, where machine empires wage war and individual A.I's can swap "bodies".
