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

The most I have gotten in a PBW game was about 700. I would have gotten more, but the game ended...

I've reached 1000 ships in the game where I had (and have) my all time biggest empire.

Btw it's pain to manage 1000 ships, at least in my 800 Mhz computer. It'll take about half a minute to open ships/units window You can expect that I won't open it very often Is that normal in such slow computer that I have?

Yikes! I couldn't even imagine having that many ships... I'm not sure I could even play with that many...

It is a pain, but I haven't seen quite that much delay in opening windows with my 1000+ ship game on a slower machine, but then I didn't have 1600, nor 800 bases.

Mainly I would avoid using the ships/units window, which I don't use very much anyway.

And of course, most ships were in fairly large fleets.

Still, it would take me over an hour to do a turn properly.

Nope,
Im running an Empire in RTH with some 3000 ships (half mothballed) and 1400 bases on a 750 MHz system. Takes about 5 secs to open the ships/units window.
