Could you explain in detail more about the "instance" concept and how it will perform?asked by solarisfowl

You don't continually drop out of warp just because there is another player or hostile NPC near you in the persistent universe. The persistent universe server match creates battle instances based on several criteria - besides the usual skill and ship criteria it also takes into account whether you've already had an encounter during your journey. In more dangerous places you can drop out to fight more often than you woudl in safer ones
