Well as we'll control every aspect of the server (as FOS doesn't depend on FLServer or FLHook) we will be able to do basically anything with less resources.
We can't give any pricese numbers now (as the AI and physics aren't finished yet) but i think it's already safe to say it will be able to handle at least current player count without any lag. There's still big field to optimize stuff, however - so all optimistic estimates can be wrong - it can be made to handle 1K to 2K players at once with good hardware.
This post isn't product announcement in any way - more of an invitation for fellow geeks and coders to tinker around and possibly join the team.

This is absolutely wonderful, but PLEAAASEEE let me refactor it. Also I think we should merge this with GL-Lancer, I've got a good framework already for loading files + Infocards which works on all platforms

There's huge chunks of code waiting to be rewritten completely :^) We could do the generic stuff in modular way to be reused everywhere. Let me check your repo...

Bump for the sake of it.
I started optimizing the ticker engine and close to implementing the physics model, but we really need C# coders to finish the project.

Doesn't matter though i m sure that people would log seeing 1000 player capability it automaticly let's you think that this server used to have 1000 players and maybe some of them are on holidays or dunno just by the look of it 1000 players, just motivates you to log more xD and actually motivate other people to play Freelancer because why not? Tides of War did it with mechanics and graphics , Crossfire did it with graphics and action aka adventure, discovery expands FL engine with RP and Player limit? Every mod needs to put in additional stuff into the Freelancer engine in my opinion i likw the idea yeh go for it push FL Engine to its limits xD
