Playable surface ships in SP missions possible?

I've tried just about everything I could think of (including copying a MP adversarial mission to the single mission folder), but no luck. I even tried creating a LAN game, then starting another session of SH4 to join this game, but it doesn't appear to be possible to run more than one SH4 session on the same PC (it is possible with some other games)

Does anyone think it's worth asking the developers about some kind of support for adversarial mode in SP - even if it's just allowing you to start a LAN game with only one player?

I know there's no sub AI in the game, but I was thinking more of battles between player ships and AI surface ships. From reading the manual, it looks like adversarial mode gives the escort commander complete control over their ship's movements and actions (though you can't "pilot" them directly) so this could result in some fun "Fighting Steel"-style missions, if not quite "Destroyer Command 2".
