No, it is the limit per empire, not per player. If you have 10k ships and 10k are gifted to you, you can no longer build any ships.
Actually, Planet/System Gravitational Shield facilities require Shields 9/10, not any Stellar Manipulation tech.

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
Interesting Geo - if ships can be gifted normally and that ignores the limits, then an alliance of two empires could have one empire gifting to the other to give the receiving empire an unlimited number of ships.

Nah, not with maintenance reduction. My 1000-ship fleet was using less than half my maintenance, and I wasn't really trying to increase my resource production, even though I had... about 9-9 systems. So the practical limit is probably more like hmmm... well, I'd say at least 100,000 _good_ ships, not to mention escorts etc., and of course, not including the infinite potential of mothballed ships.

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
Yes, that is true. But, that is a very gamey tactic and would give you a really bad reputation if you tried that in a PBW game.

Re: Biggest PBW game ever?
No, they don't. Check your score after you mothball a ship. It goes down.

Actually Fyron, Tesco is correct. Mothballed ships still count against your ship limit. They don't add to your score though and they don't show up in the score display as you say, but they still show in the ship/units screen and they will cause you to hit your ship limit and won't allow new construction. They have to be scrapped, destroyed or given away.
