It's economically ($) unfeasible to scale this game for 4,000 players fighting in one solar system. And if you scale it for 4,000 the next battle will bring 8,000.

At any given time, there are 30,000 to 40,000 (on average, the number can break 50,000) characters online.

Did you guys see that one ($9,000) carrier got lured in and destroyed a couple weeks ago? ;-)

Hmmmm...

Thats 30,000 to 40,000 kids who could be out playing catch, doing sports, spending time with siblings or other family, getting chores done, learning a new skill that someone might pay them for someday...

Or thats 30,000 to 40,000 adults who are contributing nothing to family or society during these online sessions...

I am glad I am just old enough to have missed this obsession when I was growing up.
