Hmm... something to keep in mind is where these resources come from. Is it more productive to build mining facilities and then use those resources to build research stations, or is it more productive to just build research labs on the planet in the first place?

taking into attention 90% maint reduction

This is more like a net maintenance reduction of 60%, given that the base maintenance rate is 100, rather than 25, in Adamant. Ships have 75% maintenance reduction, bases 90%. This keeps base maintenance paid about the same, but allows teh Maintenance Aptitude trait to function much more logically, by reducing maintenance paid, rather than base maintenance rate. 1% means you pay 1% less maintenance, not 24% instead of 25%, which is more than a 1% decrease (10% decrease, in fact).
