Do not starliners have maintenance bonuses?

oh, they definitely do. maintenance is currently KILLING my economy. I wonder how the computer manages to have SO MANY ships, so i played as them for a turn, and it turns out that the ships that cost me over 1000 minerals in maintenance cost them about 200! Proportions mod? More like Disproportions mod! back to my question...

no one has really answered my question. I can put population transport modules on, say, destroyers and ship people overe 5x as fast. The tonnage isn't that much more, either. SO, why have starliners? they'rejust slow and high maintenance. And again, why have *large* starliners that are just as slow and only have room for 20 kT more space (which can't be used for population transport components cuz i'm already at the max of 3!)?

Thanks for the information all, it's like throwing spaghetti at a wall - keep throwin it at me cuz a little more sticks each time.
