There is some AI code in the V12, but it's one of the things that suffered in the Sierra "cuts". The path planning code was recently removed from the player AI and because of that it's no longer functional. We'll work on the AI sometime after the release and get the original core player control going. Once it's running again, you'll be able do all the maneuvering, fighting etc., you want from the scripts, but at some point someone will have to write some new long-distance path planning code. The higher level logic is all script controlled so it will be very easy to play with.
