7. Finally, limit the use of Dreadnaught and Battleship type ships. These types of ships should be monumental under takings by a civilization and they should represent the true power of that race. Having a fleet of 800 dreadnaughts just cheapens them and doesn't really impress the manpower it takes to run a behemoth like that on the player. Maybe allowing 1 Dreadnaught and 2 Battleships per planet owned or just enabling player to turn off massive ship hulls if they want. This would force players to utilize smaller ships more effectively and give them longer life. It would also reflect real life more accurately (even the U.S. has NO active Battleships in service because of there cost and need).

I would disagree with this. I really like having thousands of ships (or at least hundreds!). Although some people would obviously like limits to this, so the best option would be for it to be moddable. That way I could have my thousands of ships, and other people could limit it to a few dozen if they felt like it.

On second thought, the limit exists already. In the game setup you can limit the number of ships per empire, so this is basically what you were suggesting for SEV!
