Size Matters

[HardCase]

There was a very good point that was pretty much glossed over in the article.

What happens if they outgrow their facility? I mean, what they have seems pretty well designed for anything short of a war, I guess, but how do you cope with success?

Then again, I guess the obvious answer would be to build another one, assuming that growth==success==more money (although I'm not so sure that I'd assume that!)

They claim room for 300% growth, but still...it certainly sounds like they're virtually the only game in town...er, on the continent. Is 300% enough?
