The cap that is in place on Starsider right now is not expected to be permanent. We have closed off new character creation on there because the server is already capping out every single night in terms of actual capacity. If we allowed new character creation, it would just lag out for everyone.
That said, right now we are also experiencing what's fairly typical after a new launch, which is that most everyone tries to play every day. This tends to subside over time, which means that over time, we should see the server loads decrease as people spread their time out more. When Starsider gets to a point where it's not hitting max capacity every day, we can re-open new character creation on there.
