Re: Massive scanning - rank #1 point of view

No, more correctly, you are fabricating a point.

Launching a fleet creates server load, we don't how much (as players), but we can only tell that when 10,000 people do it, and the server dies, that somewhere, there is server load.
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.
