Re: How Big Does Your Navy Get?
Of the many games that I have played, most of my empires, after a few hundred turns, have 100-200 ships. Usually just above 100.
I try not to scrap any ships, just refit them into something else, like minesweepers, carriers, or PD ships. 4 or 5 PD heavy cruiser sized ships supporting your dreadnoughts are tough to beat.
What I would really like to see though is an AI that will build fleets in excess of 50 ships. Only once have I seen this, and it was during some testing and the fleet was on the other side of the quadrant, and never came into contact with me.
I have found that if I have a balanced fleet of 10-20 ships, I can easily (read it is usually a totally one-sided slaughter) defeat an AI enemy two or three times my size.
