Maximum Ships Limit

[Atrocities]

I once played in a game where the max ship limit was set to 20. That was a bad *** game to say the least. Did not Last long though.

I often wonder if any has ever reached the 20k ship limit in a PBW game.

I have heard of some Proportions mod players nearing the 20K limits.

Proportions mod players? Holy cow how long did that game Last. I played about thirty turns and didn't have more than a couple of worlds, all underdeveloped.

Then I got killed by the Xi'Chung, since I couldn't build enough weapons platforms on my colonies fast enough to defend them. Lol.

They took hundreds of turns. One was a single-player game, and another was one of Fyron's PBW games using Proportions mod, combined with an early Version of FQM, which meant that there were tons of moons and asteroid fields, which in earlier Versions (about 2.4) of Proportions mod meant gargantuan quantities of resources - essentially resources were not a limit as long as you could build and protect enough asteroid mining bases.

Thanks everyone! I guess 'll be scrapping that mothballed fleet as well as all those defense bases on backwater warp points.

Having a lot of spaceyards with baseships "on hold" at 1 turn to completion is the way to go when you're at your ship limit

doesnt that cost lots of resourses though with all of them techinically building useing so much resourses per turn

Queues on hold do not use resources, so it costs nothing.
