Here's my guess: The 7-ship fleet will only be implemented in events (much in the way of Combined Fleet mechanics); OR, if it's going to be implemented in non-event maps, it will be only in select maps such as EOs. It will not be a standard fixture across all maps, provided that "phase 2" is not a full blown overhaul to KanColle 2.0.

As EO maps are rather stringent in their branching rules, I highly doubt that we will be allowed to sortie 7 capital-class ships at once. It will be too easy, don't you think? The more likely scenario is that we will need to make space for DDs or CLs somewhere in that 7 spots. So, I don't think we need to worry about blowing our resources... yet. ;))
