Have the AI pay maintenance for stationed ships

from GalCiv3 Forums

Currently AI opponents do not pay maintenance for ships that are stationed, this applies for all difficulties. While this would be OK for higher difficulty levels, normal and below this should not be so.

This allows AI opponents to have a very large number of ships without worrying about income. It also hurts them in a way because it gives a false impression on their power, since if they were to send all their stationed ships their economy would collapse.

Ironically i believe that that is bugged at the moment, and the AI is paying maintenance.

What i would like to do it, make is so all players, including the AI, only pay 1/2 maintenance when stationed.  

I will look into it regardless. Thanks for the feedback.

Are you sure it's bugged? I've been using that exact 50% discount in my modded games, it works on my ships. Does it specifically not benefit the AI?
