Shipyards limit?

Everyone has the 1000 object limit. So everyone has the same constraint. It was always the plan that you couldn't defend everything. So what you do with the 1000 objects is your choice, you can focus on orbital defense, or on attacking power.

That does make sense to me. My only concern is really with people who want to make fleets of carriers with fighters on board. Loading each carrier up to capacity means that a relatively small fleet of them could eat up a substantial number of your allotted slots. Otherwise I am all up for the cap. We will see how it all pans out over a few games.

Fighters on carriers are no longer part of the cap, and you no longer have to load carriers. They come fully stocked with fighters. So if you build a carrier, it counts as one object.

YESS!!! Fleet is a legit specialization if all you want to do is give warlords a hard time this should be funny to any one that remembers my constant desire to play fleet in beta.
What class of ships are aliens going to be rocking? Like, will they tend to fall on the capital class size, or be a mix?

We actually have a "Fleet" specialization that we want to add to the game in the future. It's got some cool abilities, but for the time being we left it out. That and the Diplomat Specialty.. but that's a secret.. sshhhh....

I think aliens are about 1500 Super Dreads, and 400 fighters or something like that.. Takes 2-3 players working as a group to take em down.. You need to beat them first shot though.. because once they get a taste of your pathetic ships they'll hunt you down like the Borg in ST:NG. Maybe that was a secret to... Nothing to see here.. move along...
