Well, in fact I do have two surrendered empires under my control, but I don't think their ship limit is added to mine (it is defined for a player not for empire, I believe but Imight be wrong too).

Pvk wasn't saying that would increase your limit. What he was saying was that if you have 20K ships, and an empire with 20K ships surenders to you you now have 40K ships. Your limit is still 20K so you can't build anymroe until you scrap 20K or get them killed in combat, but they don't disapear just cause you are over your limit. Same deal with capturing ships in combat or having them gifted to you. The ship limit only interferes with new construction.
