Actually, I would set it up so each fighter bay can basicly hold one fighter of the corresponding highest available tech for the bay. That way, you can have two doctorines, either disgorge all your fighters at once, or relly on larger fighter numbers being disgorged in waves.

That is basicly the way it is in my mod, my friend I was playing against developed a tactic where he used massive baseships with hordes of fighters, but instead of ever seeing combat he used long range fighters entered a system launched all his fighters and then various targets in system, with his carriers never even seeing combat.
