 I wouldn't want to do that in 3D or 2D, real-time or turn-based.  Playability with that many ships in a battle mandates giving orders by multi-ship formation to reduce the number "units" the player has to keep track of individually.  In a computerized game, that is completely feasible with the type of 2D proportional movement system I described.
