Default Biggest PBW game ever?

I am playing PBW game called Return to Hell. That is biggest game I have been so far, my scores are currently over 40M and rising. It made me wonder how much scores you or your co-player has had?

For example, has anyone ever succeeded to reach maximum amount of ships if it is not limited or same with units or perhaps made more resources in turn that it had turned into negative, etc.

So far I have had no problems, except when converting resources. 1M seems to be limit in one turn / converter.

The maximum allowed is 200 ships by default, but that can be raised to as high as 20,000 at game setup. 200 in a game I have seen, 20,000 I have not.

You need to mothball more ships, and play on 255 system dense FQM maps.

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 This is a 17 players DNM game currently at turn 164.

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