meaning it will be MP only?

nope, meaning we will have a better AI that actually comes a little closer to how humans would act. Armada2 had a relatively linear game experience, while Fleet Operations works a lot with options and decissions to make. Of course the AI is not built for it, but we are working on it and making progress

Speaking of AI, is the addition Mixed-Tech possible yet?

making the AI capable of using mixed-tech and similar stuff (like a real avatar decision) is something we are working on the most, and i'm quite confident we will get something up and running in one of the next patches, but definitely not 3.1.2 and 3.1.3

My personal favorite AI was in Dark Reign.  It would learn your strats and counter them.....and sometimes use them.  It would also store them in so it could recognize strategies used against it in future games.  The game was alright but the AI was killer!

Does it use the same AI system as A2 or somthing impossble to 'borrow'?

Not sure.  I'd have to pop in the game to see.  As I recall, it was fairly simple to edit....I'll look at it this weekend.
