Watch how often you do that. Taking ships in and out of mothball is something like a 30% cost in resources. If your Maintenance is 5%, you need to mothball them for over 6 turns before you have really saved anything.

True enough, but getting you maint down to 5% is pretty expensive I believe. I don't often do it. By default it's 25%. The absolute minimum you can have is 5% and that takes a LOT of racial points.
And yes, mothballing ships does cause them to lose their experience.
