Getting back to the original question though, it would be a cool feature if there was a way to "turn off" maintenace support for specific ships. Doing so would decrease or eliminate the amount of resources that go towards that ship, but at some penalty. Perhaps an increased chance of a random damage event to the ship. Say a percentage chance per turn that one of the compononents would be destroyed. The ship would in effect slowly rot over the course of a few years in space without maintenance.

Maybe to prevent abuse you would only have this option for ships that were completely out of supply?
