No Maintainence a Feature?!?!

[JLXC]

I posted this once before the patch, but I see it wasn't fixed?? If you take +20 percent maintainence reduction and merchant you pay NO upkeep at all for ships. If this is a game feature it's unbalanced, as whoever does it can literally pump out new ships every single turn without limits ever! How can you keep up with that in a normal 1 planet start? I have had 300 ships by turn 30-40..... if you were in a multi-player game the guy who does this wins every time, no hope. I can only hope that people either outlow it in multiplay, or it gets patched out.
