Ambrosia Software Web Board: Tell me someone else has this problem - Ambrosia Software Web Board

The thing is, everytime I get far enough into a level and have a lot of ships, it won't let me build anymore. I'll be making ships and then all of a sudden it's like the button has been cut off. I'm sitting here pressing the build key and it won't build anything. Then every once in a while it lets me build again but only for about 30 seconds. Any help would be appreciated.

That's because there is a ship limit in Ares. Only about 200 objects(both players ships, asteriods, explosions, shots) can exist at the same time.

If you've maxed out the ships, you proably have enough to do whatever your tring to do. I wonder if you could "flood the system" with fighters, and thus not enable to enemy to build any more ships.

I actually did this once on level 19.
It was part of (I think it was Pallas's, man that was a long time ago) challenge to see how many losses would be incurred defeating the gateship with JUST FIGHTERS. As I had to forfit, I couldn't check my losses , but the origonator (Pallas?) came out with about 1000 losses, give or take a couple hundred.
