try the following:

class Ship
{
};
const int num_bots = 5;
extern Ship* const pships;

Ship* const pships=(new Ship[num_bots]);

i dont see why you would want to initialize a extern const double (in
a .h-file). if anything is declared const it means that it has a
constant value without your project - means that there is a good
chance that you might initialize it twice (means normally
differently).
