I think this would be a particularily good idea, perhaps working in some

kind of tie into the current system. A command rating would be more
approprate, perhaps a TOC component that can be built onto the 
carriers to manage the fighter groups...

OTOH, you might just do well by having a house rule of some sort...

I've had the pleasure of going up against custom assault carriers that 
spit out 8 fighter groups per, 2 interceptors, 2 heavies, and 4 torp 
bombers. Not fun. The side note was that not too many of them 
actually survived, since I use plenty of PDAF in my designs to 
counter general missile/fighter threats. Once the fighters shot their
wad, the carrier popped like a soap bubble.
