I understand the limitations and a 50-100 player limit per instance sounds perfectly reasonable. It worked well for games like WoW, and it looks like the dev team is hard at work finding a way to stitch all of those servers together into one universe. I am sure they can do it, and that sounds awesome.

But i think the instance limit may be the biggest weakness of StarCitizen, it cuts it's potential that much shorter. It would be awesome to have the ability for 1000 people to be in one place, it wouldn't happen often but in wonderful rare areas of dense activity. Ofcorse not at launch, but my question is are updates planned that would open up the player limit down the road?
