Default Re: The maintenance cost
Maintenance aptitude adds linearly to the base rate. 120 in Maintenance Aptitude will get you to the 5% barrier in the stock game. So will 200 in maintenance aptitude, or 120 in maintenance aptitude and the Merchants culture.

Note that the 5% minimum is from traits and culture. Vehicle, component and facility abilities can reduce maintenance rates below this 5%. If you have 120 maintenance aptitude, bases will end up with 2.5% maintenance rates, rather than the 5% ships will pay.
