I agree with Talenn. I think it should take 2000 racial points to get your end result maintenance down from 25% to 15%. And I think the jump from 15 down to 10% should cost between 1000 and 2000 additional racial points. I would never let maintenance be less than 10%.

Has anyone thought of modifying the AI files to create an empire that uses 0% maintenance? That might be interesting to see. I've heard different folks say that the AI always seems to be scrapping its base space yards when its maintenance costs get too high. Maybe you could create a more potent AI if it didn't have to pay maintenance?
