No maint reduction for crystalline mines?

Hey Kwok, was just wondering if this was intended or not. I just noticed that normal mines have a -50% maintenance reduction built in to them but crystalline mines (which sometimes have that built in to their hulls innately) do not have the maintenance reduction. Was there a balance reason for this or ..?

I just don't see a reason to ever use a crystalline mine over a normal mine since you have access to build both unless you were just desperately short on minerals and, even then, you have the 50% reduction.

Oops. Looks like I forgot to add it.

This seems to be the case with Organic mines too.

Nothing special really, other then allowing for faster construction times due to their lower cost in minerals.

I added the maintenance reduction for both racial mines in v1.13.
