This idea of "fighters" is very old but i have never seen anyone suggesting a working model that fits effectively into current battle engine. Main problem is that current battle is not battle of spaceships. It is a battle of "stacks".

There are some possibilities that i have heard of:
A) the carrier is chaff generator, so instead of chaff you have few carriers with.
B) the fighters are like alternative shield (that also hurts opposition).
C) the fighters are like alternative auxilary weapon (torpedoes/missiles/fighters) that also absorbs a part of enemy fire.
D) the fighters are useless or partially useless (for example: useless against gatling weapons, useless against large stacks).

Your suggestion does not sound like B) or C) because it sounds like real ships are generated on board at round 1. To make sure if its A) or D) you have to answer some questions:

What is the range/power/initiative and damage style of fighter weapons?
What is fighters armor/shield?
What is fighters battle-board movement?
What is fighters weight?
What is fighters attractiveness/jamming/deflection?
Do they stack or make piles of new tokens?
