Refitting a ship to itself is free.It resets the maintenance clock (there's a bit of an exploit in itself)... Misread the log, there - it lowers the clock BY zero, not TO zero
... and it refills the maintenance supplies as well.
So, to update the exploit, if you have a spare shipyard sitting around, you can
1. make a ship with nothing but maintenance storage bays
2. empty said bays
3. refit ship to refill said bays for free (takes 5 days... or whatever you set that value to when you created the game)
4. go to 2
Lather, rinse, repeat - other than start up cost (retooling shipyard, building one ship) and "opportunity cost" of shipyard not doing anything else, it's completely free.
Yay for silly exploits getting sillier! Heh.
