You sure SJ???

You are mixing the numbers up. The base maintenance in the stock game isn't 100%, it's 25%. So to tweak your example a ship that costs 4000 to build will cost 1000 per turn of maintenace. If you spend the racial points to get your maint to 120%, what this actually does is subtract 20 from the 25% and leave you with 5% maintenance on your ships. At 5% maintenance your ships that cost 4000 to build will cost 200 per turn to maintain.

If the base maintenance rate in the stock game were 100% like you said in your example, then getting 120% to maint in game setup would mean 100-20=80% and your ships would cost 800 to maintain. Actually I think that is part of what SJ did in his mod to make the maint reduction more realistic.
