AI mods/MP "bots" possible?

[Enialis]

I have absolutely no idea how modding works in this game or what the modding features even are so i thought id just ask, given the proper time and skillset would modding the AI be possible in any way? Either that or creating a "bot" to fly in a self hosted server, with the intention of creating a better dueling partner for solo play? I know its possible to create a "bot" and go that route but it would require extra copies and potentially multiple accounts to pull off even after the massive timesink of creating the AI from scratch, but im totally in the dark in what can be done with the in-game AI.

You can mod the AI but its a nightmare to test.
