What is the accepted method for determine the number of military starships you have?

I have to ask this question because someone complained when I introduced my fleet. They stated that based on the size of my poplutation there is no way I could have more than 18 ships.

Now, I am roleplaying a race, that placed themselves in suspended animation, for a billion years and are now waking up slowly to rediscover the universe around them. All my ships are actually sentient organic beings that I am including in my population.

I have made every effort to RP the sentience of my ships, and constantly point out any time I enter a new thread that they are organic. In one case I am even using a ship as the commander of my fleet.

I used the standard accepted practice of using 1% of my population as military. I then determined that 0.01% of my military would be military vessels, which leaves me with roughly 97 since my vessels are organic and are part of my population.

Is there something wrong with what I am doing here?

This is not a roleplaying forum. Try asking your question in International Incidents.
