Our servers are provided by the mighty EC2 of Amazon.

I'm not too worried about the huge amount of traffic coming their way from us. It is scalable immediately by the user (Frontier)
It only takes several minutes to bring more VMs (virtual machines) on-line.
The EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) also provides the user with control over the geographical location of instances(what they call their virtual machines) that allow for latency optimization and a high level of redundancy.
Amazon's webstore and databases use the same systems.

Good Luck Commanders!
I think us Beta-testers should find where the newbies are spawning tomorrow and fly backwards into stations to confuse them
