I have 6k/678/3624 resources from five ships.
Only thirdth of it, not counting organics, goes for maintenance. And im just playing around with asteroids.

Why are you mixing miners?
If you made the ships with all one type of miner, you would save a lot more resources.

If the ship is mining only minerals, then only the mineral value goes down by 1%.
Once the value gets too low, you can then swap the mineral mining ship for an organics or radioactives mining ship, and keep mining effectively for up to 3x longer.
