ah, that could make a good mod to get people to use smaller ships. just remove the mounts, and have every 25kt count for 1% maintanence or something...

Hmm. Going to have to limit it to control components and the most valuable parts of the ship.

Bridge (+5)
Life Support (+2 each)
Crew Quarters (+1 each)
MC (+15)
Engines (+1 each)
Solar Sail (+3- its delicate)
Space Yard (+5)
repair bays (+1)
stellar manip (+4)

So a LC would cost 5+2+1+6+3 = 17% maintance with the required stuff, engines, and a sail. With a MC, it would cost 15+6+3 = 24%

A battle cruiser? 5+3+2+6+3 = 19% or 24%.

A baseship? 5+10+5+2+3 = 25% or 15+2+3 20%

Those numbers look reasonable? The MC % may need some tweaking..

Wow... +4 for a stellar manip comp... those are going to be some expensive ships to maintain!

Have you considered how this affects the Maintenance Aptitude trait?

[Suicide Junkie]

The (base 25% minus Maintenance aptitude) multiplies with (the sum of those modifiers). Should be good.
A ship with just a bridge will cost 5% more than normal, while a base with a bridge will cost 10% more than normal.

SJ, I'm not completely sure I follow that. Care to give an example?

Also, I'll probably use have base maintance at 100%, with appropriate subtrations for ships and bases.

EDIT: Fryon, I'll probably reduce the stellar manip costs to compensate..except for warp openers, which IMO are powerful enough to deserve the extra cost.

4% doesn't seem like alot for stellar manip. i mean, 15% for MC? why'd a MC be that much?

ok, humor aside, i do have a point.

[Phoenix-D]

Its 15% because it replaces three different components. Check out the numbers for the baseship..
