The 2000 unit limit

[geoschmo]

Unit limits only count against units in space at any one time. You can have as many mines/fighters/sats as you can store on your planets or in cargo bays on ships, but you can only have 2000, or what ever you set the limit too, in space at any one time.

Since troops/weapons platforms cannot be in space they are not affected by the unit limits.

From what I have heard, the problem with the ship limit is it is supposed to be ships and bases combined, but it is actually allowing you 2000 of each.
