"How can I find out how much a ship/facility costs to maintain each turn?"

Once it's built, click on it. There will be a maintaince amount on the ship details panel.

Before you build it, open up the combat simulator and right click on the ship in question. That will give you the maintaince AND cost on the same screen.

Anything that requires a shipyard and is listed under "ships"- i.e. ships and bases- requires maintaince. Anything that doesn't require a shipyard, and is listed under units- fighters, drones, sats and weapons platforms- doesn't.

Another way to think about it: if a type could carry cargo, you have to pay maintaince. If it IS cargo, you don't.
