Expansion Question ==> Starbases now cost 10 to maintain.

I read this on the expansion details screen:

+ Starbases now cost 10 to maintain.

Even with a fully buffed SB, I'm not getting 10 in trade out of these? Am I doing something wrong? Now granted I have in the past gone with short routes(1 sector) and placed all 10 of my routes to the same AI. That way I could place 20-30 SBs in the sector maxing out trade income. But my average route provides 40-60 bcs/turn and I end up getting only 1-2 bcs/trade improvement. Does the 10bc maintenance cost then put my strategy out of business?

It looks like you'll have to go with a longer trade route and building +speed starbases in the other sectors.

Since constructors now cost 1 upkeep, what do you do with all that excess military production? Build "nothing"?

Possibly.
