First of all it is important is to keep stability.
From Freelancer Server Statistics, the server is overfilled in a certain time line.
With ''coarse'' calculation the server only is overfilled to 25%max each 24/1 from ''19PM to 1AM''.
Maybe it is possible to adapt the first option to this time line.
I see alot issues with the second option, it will be hard work to run it without further obstacles.

I must admit there is something true about this. People ususally want to interact with other players and they prefer servers with more players. But on the other hand we're a hard-core RP oriented community and we do all we can to discourage PvP only oriented players and while most of the other servers are PvP oriented we shouldn't really harm them. This issue needs to be discussed as well along the technical issues, we shouldn't forget about it.
This is because it is important to keep stability in the first place and in the second increasing limits.
Freelancer community consists of many servers, i agree, but to be honest if people come to play here by their own will there are is nothing to be critisized.
