All weapons in a single unit fire simultaneously unless given special rules.

NETWORKED markerlights, of which the drones or Pathfinders are not, have this permission, because the rest of the unit may use a networked markerlight.

Other wise it's shooting as with any other ranged weapon.

Sort of correct.

All fire from a unit is resolved before moving on to another unit.
The shots are demonstrably not simultaneous - wounds are allocated and casualties removed between weapon types.

Networked markerlights don't have permission to fire, switch to another unit and resolve that shooting, and then come back to the markerlight unit - they never have.
You simply have permission for the firing unit to be able to use the Networked lights.

Hmm, I had read the changes to shooting in 7th that the shooting in a unit is simultaneous, all nominations and to hit, but the wound allocation is then by weapon. My mistake. With the rules refresh cycle I sometimes get stuck in last edition!
