Sound like maybe this is not possible. [/QB]

This is possible to do. You can even do it in the stock game. You just need to have a carrier with enough cargo storage to hold twice as many fighters as it can launch during 30 rounds of combat.

So if you want a ship that can hold 60 fighters and only launch 30 during combat, you put one fighter bay on it and enough cargo bays to hold 60 fighters. One fighter bay launches 30 fighters in a round of combat.

Of course your fighters are going to be launched one at a time during combat, and aren't likely to survive unless you have modded them to be significantly tougher then in the stock game. But it will do what you are trying to accomplish.
