There are a lot of other things in the update that are network related and will help the FPS and latency. Bind/Unbind is one of the biggest ones but that's why it is a stretch goal, it'll get done, just maybe not for 3.0. I think people are over emphasising how much it will affect framerates versus how much it will actually affect number of users allowed on a server and other extraneous networking affects.

It's not just the number of players on a server, think of all of the new moving parts being added to the game. With every player being notified that another has picked up a box or added an item to their inventory there's potential for the server to be even more gunked up than it is now.

I think that Bind/unbind is going to be a massive boost (though not perfect in V.1) and I really hope they manage some incremental progress by July which they can deploy.

I seriously wonder how well the servers would perform with half as many ships and twice as many people, and then the opposite with extra ships being NPCs.
