I griped a while ago about how high maintenance costs were in AIC, and how it was killing my economy (literally, 20 warships - 10 frigates, 10 destroyers - were enough to set my income to the negative).  This game was with infinite resources.  I quit that game cuz i got sick of it.  I started a new one on finite resources, and notice that the maintenance costs are MUUUCCHHH lower.  Has anyone else noticed this?  what is the logic behind this?  i don't mean the obvious answer that infinite resource games have more resources... that much i realize.  but the damper that maintenance put on my economy rendered my first AIC game (infinite resources) unplayable, while my finite resources game I have going now is nowhere near as bad.  why?
