I see people say that a lot. The actual cap on equipment is what they say it is. The only way to get to that cap, though, is through the stock equipment of a new ship/upgrade.

Example:  You have 497 equipment. The game won't let you build ships/equipment/upgrade/etc. At 496, you have no restrictions on those. Upgrade Souryuu to Kai2 (only ship I know of that has 4 stock equip) when you're at 496, and you'll end up with 500.
