Looking at some of the screen shots of the fitout terminals, There don't appear to be that many and the space looks relatively confined. If there are going to be 100's or 1000's of people on these continents and they all bind to the nearest bases to the action, aren't there going to be MASSES of people trying to rearm (even with pre-configured selections ready to go - they still have to go to a terminal)...?

Equipment terminals don't get too congested usually. There are lots of them, and you have a default config (user-configurable) that you spawn in each time, so usually, you don't even need to go to the equipment terminal unless you're setting up new favorites or getting some new ammo.
And before anyone gets up-in-arms about "defenders insta-spawning after being killed", don't worry. Everyone has a respawn timer that has to expire after being killed. It's not that long (30 seconds or so), but it's long enough for attackers to not have to face a continuous stream of auto-equipped defenders and has worked well in our playtests so far.
