Can somebody point me to an explanation on how to train a TG?

PS - they'll suck the maintenance resources when you overhaul them.  Overhaul uses maintenance at a multiplied rate - I think it's 4x to match the rate at which the clock unwinds.  TANSTAAFL

Actually, I don't think so. 

Currently, my 20 Chimeras are using 379 duranium per year at my maintenance. 
At the current time of posting, the last three chimeras to be built have just finished their overhaul. 

The production window still says 379 duranium per year.

You ran out of trained crew pool, so they have to use recruits (which start from -10%) to crew the vessels.

Increase the number of academies you have and/or reduce your racial training level.

Incidentally, since maintenance facilities use resources, what creates maintenance supplies?  Maintenance facilities?  I'm confused, my supplies are at 0.

Maintenance Supplies are in the drop down production menu on the left - Installations.. Missiles... Fighters...................Maintenance Supplies right at the bottom - build them like any other Industrial project.

ah ha!  learn something new every day.  or in this game, every fifteen minutes.

To be fair, Maintenance Facilities used to build maintenance supplies, before Steve changed the way they worked.

I think the maintence faiclities-maintence supplies need a rework anyway or some expansion and streamlining
