Fighters are a limited resource. Once dead they are dead, unless you have a ship with "Fleet Carrier" trait.
I haven't figured out a reason to recover fighters yet, except to help them get someplace faster or jump out of system. Most capitol ships fly faster than fighters in a straight line.
In terms of game mechanics, all that matters about the fighter base is its size. How many fighters you put on there is purly a matter of esthetics. I personally like a lot on there. But the budget gamer could certainly get away with less.
