Try to remember, with the default of 25% maintenance ...
With every ship you build, think ..."In four turns, I will automatically pay for another one."
Look around, do you really need that many ships?
If so, you need more colonies. Hey, you're a
Galactic Despot (click here) -- why do

Also, emergency build inceases build rate, and also increase resource consumption. When you shut it off and go slow, you will consume less resources. You could also put a queue on hold, and save all resources.
