You need to mothball more ships, and play on 255 system dense FQM maps. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

In one of my games there is a limit of 1000 ships and 15000 units. They are both very annoying because my build queue is almost always on hold. I even started to build kamikaze ships for that reason http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif This is a 17 players DNM game currently at turn 164.

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

I've reached over 1000 ships, and could imagine approaching 20,000 eventually.

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

The most I have gotten in a PBW game was about 700. I would have gotten more, but the game ended...

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

1600 ships, 800 bases 200000 units...is my record....

Hopefully i will be able to hit 5000 ships... that would be really really cool

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

I've reached 1000 ships in the game where I had (and have) my all time biggest empire.

Btw it's pain to manage 1000 ships, at least in my 800 Mhz computer. It'll take about half a minute to open ships/units window http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif You can expect that I won't open it very often http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Is that normal in such slow computer that I have?

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yikes! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif I couldn't even imagine having that many ships... I'm not sure I could even play with that many...

It is a pain, but I haven't seen quite that much delay in opening windows with my 1000+ ship game on a slower machine, but then I didn't have 1600, nor 800 bases.

Mainly I would avoid using the ships/units window, which I don't use very much anyway.

And of course, most ships were in fairly large fleets.

Still, it would take me over an hour to do a turn properly.
