You all know my love for nitpicking, so : you actually disregard more than just trade and remote-mining, as resource conVersion, gifts, resource procurement and scrapping ships are also not taken into account for this purpose. In other words, only your planetary production counts, at least in the vanilla game. If you have no planetary production, it will be your basic material production instead (200 minerals, organics and/or radioactives, if your planets do not produce one, or all of these resources).

It could be a bit different for modded games, with ships having a negative maintenance (hence giving you resources), and the new resource generation abilities from 1.91, but I have yet to play one such game in multiplayer. I guess only Nomads/Pirates with bases creating resources would see a difference here.
