    I am reading in the doc that transforms get sent as 9 floats across an unreliable state synch. Scale is almost never changed in most games which economizes 3 floats. How does one filter out transform which shouldn't be transfered?

    Use OnSerializeNetworkView to only synch the parts of the transform you need (note there is an error in the example script on that page, a C#/javacript mashup, the website will be updated with the fix soon). See the NetworkInterpolatedTransform script in the networking example project. It synchs the rotation and position of the transform with interpolation and a 100 ms playback delay.

    Also, if you use ReliableDeltaCompressed the scale is only sent once and never again, as it never changes.

    yes delta does this but delta will introduce lag in constantly moving user objects.
    The serialize is what I want to avoid, lots of pipe make lots of leaks.
    So here is a wish for networking:
    non reliable state synchronization of transform have to offer option to filter out S, R or T.
