ok thanks for the info, i think it will help. However, the limitations on participation is turning off many prospective players. Even players that already bought the game. The best part of gaming is being ONLINE with hundreds of other players and bases. Isolated environment with friends only? pass. Might as well be running Blender or CAD software at that point. The current, absurdly low Player population limit is an admission of not being able to compete. These devs have received MILLIONS of units of fiat, no reason to not be opening this game up now.

That is definitely your opinion. Personally I hate playing with other people. As soon as you do you have to play at everyone's else play rate. Either they are ready before you and are nagging you to hurry up or the other way around. Would rather just relax and enjoy a game at my own pace.
