I see it being possible, considering how the community ran around with VIP matches in the Aerodome. I dislike the concept of giving an AI full control of how a ship is piloted. Maybe shot, but piloted? that would be some intense coding for damage, fear, sandstorm, and number factors, not to mention telling an AI captain "Wait, they've set up an ambush, stay back and snipe while we charge forward to get the focus on us and then rush past when they're distracted" would be an issue.
I feel that a CP style VIP would be cool. As in, the VIP is the only one capable of capping set points that need to get a filled amount (point A requires 20 points, but each point is only gained one per second of a VIP ship being there, with 5 points in a map). That would make my wish of a piloted VIP and a VIP mode in general come true.
The final problem with that is who will volunteer to be a VIP ship, or should it be picked randomly by a computerized roll of the dice?
