Yes!  This would be most helpful.  I often find myself with a planet that
has been terraformed and mined, off in a corner of the galaxy (or in the
very center of my area of control) where I don't care to build ships.  It
would be quite nice to have the amount of $$$ spent on that planet stay
exactly what is necessary to support it on each turn, shrinking to $0 as
the planet's need drops to $0.

Thanks for the opportunity to give suggestions on v2.0!
