How about this for a fix everyone might agree on:

Leave fighter endurance as it is.  Leave PDS and ADFC as is, leave
fighter 
costs as is.  Instead, allow only 1 attack vs. ships by fighter
squadrons 
before they are required to return to their carriers, land, and launch
again 
before they can attack ships again.  Allow as many dogfights between 
fighters as endurance permits.
