But it's ship maintenance max is specified in each races settings.txt file and this is usually set to 80% of max resource income. By setting this limit lets say to 160%, 240% and 320% respectively you can get the AI build absolutely insane amounts of ships (without it having any maintenance problems)provided that you have also fixed those 2 other production problems...
I don't think you are right there. The AI doesn't get any resource bonus with the computer bonus turned on. I have checked this against AI with High bonus setting and he had the same amount of resources at the start of the game (checked it on second turn) as I had.
