Presenting a slightly different view:
    
     The 72 fighters can be broken down into 6 fighter squadrons
of 12 fighters each.   This is a traditional number for many
nations.   Since the fighters operate in a tacitical pair for
combat only one fighter is shown on the fighter base for each
two in the squadron.
     In other words, use 6 squadrons for 72 (individual) fighters.
This is the normal compliment of a fleet carrier in the FT rules.

     Everything really rests on the size of the battle desired.
Remember that the star destroyers seem to be good only at shooting
at non-moving targets (asteroids), I do not recall any fighter
being lost to fire from a star destroyer.   

Bye for now,
