Depends on your house rules.  I think that the FT rules are launch or
recover only up to a maximum of two groups, but if your ship design
allows it, why should I argue?

For rearming, I've seen a variety of answers.  Our group plays that
1D6 fighters in a group are rearmed in a turn.	It makes it a little
more
tense to get the fighters out the door.  Other house rules have one turn
in the barn, some two turns.
