If we scan through 500 scans in 1 minute, and there is not even a slight bit of lag on a server. How are we supposed to tell the level of stress we put on the server ?

1 person from our galaxy scanned at the time the server went down.
The previously mentioned ~20 people, were not of our knowledge. As individuals we certainly did not produce a noticable load.
And we had done a *lot* more scanning than that in our testing, never a problem.

When the 10,000 people launch and bring down the server, do we delete all their fleets they had
launched ?

It was co-incidence, not conspiracy.

Cordially,
Sonny.
i'd like to add that a certain planet has 7-8k launches in launch-page, so i'm sure admins have checked him out, and found out that he has done alot of scanning as well, it's not weird that some planets thought this wasnt a problem, since this planet has done it for almost the whole round, without anyone taking action?
