Ya well. 1 point why we are using the computers of the players to run several servers is to aviod huge 
costs. If every player (or at least some) donate cpu usage and bandwidth by running a little programm 
that's much more welcome than collecting money to pay 1 cool super fast game server with monthly costs. 
We are an open source project. So no income and no money to spend.

The meta server will probably be the only all time available server. And the meta server actually is a 
cool super fast server. But the costs are very low because it is actually a webserver for homepages and 
stuff like that.

We are not planing to make everything better. Because this plan could mess up the whole game. Of course 
we try to improve thouse things that make obviously no damage. But just simple things like making super 
high polygoned ships will slow down the whole game and many players whould run it with low fps. Just an 
example who we could destroy everything instead of making something better. So far that's only my 
oppinion. But actually, in my oppinion we also reached at lot if we only cloned jumpgate. There is 
currently nerly no comparable open source game on the market available which a level of jumpgate.
