I really hope they do, its very frustrating picking a single target out to engage to later have a few of his buddies showing up to the fight to help him out. At least if we had the option to hire out one novice pilot to help take some of the heat off in battle. I quit fighting due to this, tired of spending hard earned credits on being destroyed cause the ai get help now and the player doesn't. Not too mention I never ever hardly ever see anyone in open play to help. It would add immersion and help balance out a bit for people.
