I just got finished playing a hard game using a Custom race.  I ended up 
fighting the Gnolams.  I had unfortunately let them build up about 17 star 
systems to my 8.  I noticed them start taking stars like crazy and found out 
they had 100 ships, mostly titans, this has been the largest fleet i've ever 
seen, and I only had 10 count them 10!  ships to fight with.  I had already 
claimed orion and all, but it didn't really matter when a force that big comes 
at me.  The battles took at least 15 minutes.  How does one fight a fleet like 
this????
I ended up going back a few turns, to before we were at war.  I had ALL my 
colonies build one titan with stellar converters.  I sent a ship to each of 
their colonies and took their planets, they had stuipidly left their planets 
undefended in lieu of conquering.  I lost two planets to the 100+ fleet, but I 
won.  

IMO there should be a limit of about 30 or 40 ships on fleet sizes, just so you 
can have a chance and the battles won't take so long.
