Not all colonizers are dispatched immediately. The AI files tell the computer to keep a certain number of them available regardless of the availability of planets to colonize. So the extra maintenance will have an impact. But colonizers are relatively rare. It's the use of the MC in all ships that is the real problem. Every population transport, every troop transport, every sat layer, mine layer, mine sweeper. All those ships will be costing much more in maintenance. And the AI already has trouble managing its resouce budget.
