It does. I have used it in setting up scenarios. It works quite well.
Have you by any chance checked what happens when the component is destroyed?
You would have some interesting effects if you lose the maintenance bonus when your ship is damaged, and the only way to fix it is to permanently mothball or trade it back to the nomads for a replacement.
The other question is whether multiple maintenance reductions stack badly.
IE: if you put one of these components on a base, do you get 0.5% maintenance, or -49% maintenance, or just 1% maintenance?
