? How can you reach maximum if there is not limit to maximum?

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.

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

1600 ships, 800 bases 200000 units...is my record....

Hopefully i will be able to hit 5000 ships... that would be really really cool

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.
