As I understand the entry in the FT/MT book it says 'Fighter group
including
bay----  mass 6.'.   So in FT/MT putting one fighter in the bay is not
cost/
mass efficient and no one I can think of would want to do that.

As for the FB:
This really only would work for even numbers of fighters.  Otherwise the

mass roundoff would kill you.	At the present I cannot find where the 
rules state that all fighters can start on the board, and even if
written
I would create a house rule to return to the two squadron launch a turn
on the spot.  Furthermore I would allow the PDAF/PDS to kill as may
fighters
as are attacking the ship without reguard for the squadron size as this 
is more realistic.

Bye for now,
