[Alneyan]

My intention was to follow the same rules as the game, so "60 ships active in space and 500 units deployed"; I'm reluctant to use the game settings to achieve that since there might be unexpected effects.

I don't have any opinion about mothballing; I think there is one figure for those ships, if memory serves, so it wouldn't be too hard to track. I'd recommend only counting ships/units fully built against the limit. I leave counting units in cargo to your discretion. Not counting them would make units a lot more important, I think; counting them should leave them with a big niche, but a niche nevertheless.

I got back home quite a bit later than expected, so I'm not sure if I'll fully catch up with KOTH today (I just noticed I'd forgotten to create at least one game, so it seems I do have some catching up to do). That aside, I don't expect any further disruption of service all the way to May. Then, life will get interesting again, and I'll step down from KOTH in August at the latest.
