I always though the yearly maintenance cost was supposed to represent the expense associated with keeping the ships in operation. If you look at it that way, every unit but mines would require a very small mount of maintenance expense each turn.
For everthing but fighters that expense would be so small you wouldn't notice it. But because fighters *can* move, I would add a maintenance cost into the game for fighters to reflect re-fueling and such.
