Fighter stands: How many do they represent?

By DScipio, in Star Wars: Armada

You mean 9 tie fighters and 6 interceptors right?

;) no I meant the standard procedure for Captial Starships in X-Wing when under attack.

Hey, the death star only launched 4 tie fighters when the falcon escaped, and like 12 when under attack by rebels.

Of course you could say, thats only the things the we saw.

Actually, the DS didn't launch any fighters when the falcon escaped. The 4 TIEs they fought were part of the routine patrols that were already flying out around the DS on the falcons exit vector. Even if Tarkin wanted to send more fighters after them (they wanted the falcon to escape, remember) there wouldn't have been time to get them launched.
