If possible, then it would be very, very, very, *Repeat for a while*, difficult.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

I've been making many videos for a while now and I've improved on it a lot.  I can't really see the first video being able to be pulled off in BC since it uses many complicated camera angles in which you need to follow the ships or weapons fire.  It's nearly impossible to predict that in an AI fight in BC.

As for the second video, it's possible but difficult.  Most of the views in the beginning of that video is doable but not all ships will have different movement.  Mostly going in straight lines, but the camera could follow them similarly as the video is.  Towards the end is more complex but something similar could be performed in BC.

So all-in-all, first one is pretty much impossible in BC but the second one is plausible.

couldn't the AI problem be solved with a cooperative multiplayer game?

people obviously fail to realize that this game is not only over 5 years old by now but that the game engine is not only expanded upon...

Will this be made possible in Excalibur, complete with gravity/life support failure when walking through the corridors of ships?
