To be honest ths is how I've always played it. The player places a
fighter group next to the Carrier then moves them
at the same time.

Yes if in range.

I've tried mounting 1 fighter per base with a little dice representing
how many is left in the squadron but it doesn't look right.  
The same argument goes for permanently basing 6 fighters on a stand and
then using a dice to say how many of them are
 actually still alive.	I run the game as a demo for a lot of beginning
players and they want to be able to see how many fighters 
are still alive at a glance.

Didn't someone suggest sticking the fighters to little pegs, bit like
the ones you get in Battleship?
