This is THE best equalizer possible imho, it gets rid at a stroke of the incremental-growth problem which is the single biggest unbalancing thing in PA. A lot of other gameplay problems in PA are either the result from it or are exacerbated by it.
It would mean numerous new strategic issues as well, deepening the game.
It would be relatively simple to implement, as score for ships is calculated every tick anyway to update your score. Just take a % of that and subtract it from your resources.

Consider some1 having to pull and loosing 6 or 8 ticks roids due to a massive attack. Leaving him with 200 roids and 15 mio score (happened to me in a wenx gal R7), how could he afford maintenance for his ships?
