I hear ya

You can't mod resupply to cost resources. However, ship maintenance can largely be seen as fuel (and other supply) costs. Why else would you have to pay the entire cost of the ship every 4 months if it weren't fuel? It is abstracted, but that's ok IMO.

I may be just me but it appears the lion's share of maintenance come from my mineral pool.

I think what I'm looking for is the maintenance cost to be paid primarily in radioactives with a progression built on the size of teh ship and number of engines.

A lot of mods make other resources important too. Try Pirates and Nomads for the mod with balanced resource costs that is closest to stock. Other mods like Adamant, Carrier Battles and Proportions have more sensible use of resources as well, but are very gameplay-altering in many other regards.

Thanks for the patient and timely reply. Gonna hit the ol' salad bar of game modding.
