Chris Roberts still claims how his fully finished game will support 50-70 smaller ships and pilots in them battling in one shard. Please note that Star Citizen spaceships are very complex beasts, many magnitudes of times more complex then a horse in medieval game or any kind of machinery. Those are just CRs word but if he can pull it off, I don't see a reason why Warhorse couldn't create 100-150 actors battles for multiplayer (if they wanted to).
