No, none of the mercenary stuff works yet. There is probably quite a bit of packet handling, structures, and opcodes that are needed in order to make the system functional at all. And even then, we would still have to create AI stuff for them similar to the bots system, if we decide not to use bots for them.
I don't know what the plans are for mercs currently. We need to get some collects that include the info we need first of all. Once we have that, someone will have to take the time to actually figure it all out and get the systems coded. I am sure it is a decent chunk of work. They definitely aren't a high priority atm, but maybe they will be added at some point.
EDIT: KLS beat me to it!
