Yall know how we operate, Belter. Faster'n Light.
Yepper. One maintenance cycle of increased cost is all that is intended for the Airlock malus. But if you buy upgrades like the Broadpass Scanner or the Egress Kit, you'll see that they come with an upkeep cost. Those raise your base upkeep and unless you deactivate them before you go on a run, you'll have to pay those costs every maintenence cycle. Because the shiniest toys will always cost a little extra to maintain, y'understand.
