nah, ships will stack, ive seen it. but i think they stay inside of your deployment area when being placed. If you want really large battles, you can always mod ships to be fighters, and then you can have stacks of hundreds of ships. it can be a pain to rearrange your stacks, especially when launching from planets, so there are some downsides to that idea.

maxint is 2^16 (two bytes), or 65,536. or possibly 65,535 since that is FFFF in hex, and one of the values has to be reserved for zero, so its actually 2^16 - 1. if its higher than that, he used longint (god knows why..). I dont remember how many bytes are in longint, but I think its max value is somewhere in the millions. a google search for "longint" or "long interger" should turn it up.
