Just reduce the base amount in the settings file. Then you don't have to mess with the aI as much.

Wasn't it only 15% in SE3? I know I changed it to 15 in my own MOD. I wonder what the maintenance costs are for modern navies; maybe we could use that information as a guideline.

The problem with the "modern navy" idea is that modern governments have things other than ships, fighters, mines, satilites and buildings to spend their money on. Like feeding/paying their troops. Like government programs that have nothing to do with war (none of which are in SE4)

I don't know about the Navy buy when I was working on commercial merchant ships the biggest expense was fuel.
Major equipment( engines, boilers, generators, hull etc) rarely needed repair. Most work on the major stuff, inspections, minor repairs and such, was done on yearly or bi-annual shipyard visits.
