Which is what most fluxer's have been shouting about for the last eon.

As for ND calling them vorlon's I think J. Michael Straczynski, might have something to say about that.

How about this. You have options. Different sectors spawn different AI mobs. ZR has pirates, DG has smugglers, Pulsar has flux...

From what we've been told so far, i think we can safely assume this wont be the case. The AI will "spawn" and fly around. Haulers, miners, Pirates etc will most likely spawn at a station somewhere and then go out and do what they do. If there is a flux-like AI enemy then i would say that it would behave similarly.

That being said, if the flux ai could tell where there was PvP occurring and wait until AFTER said PvP and attack that could be cool. Why risk itself when they can watch one person kill another and then they can try to kill whoever is left. This also gives the option of those fighting to work together against the flux or flee the sector before the flux gets involved. Hmm.. not sure how that would work... but its a thought.

I occasionally sit around in sector to watch a good fight... it might add something if if there were flux spectators sitting around at the edges watching too
