The rules themself are contradicting and the fact we're discussing this just calls for clarification from FFG. The line I've quoted so many times, I'm not going to do it again, says that a ship can ONLY equip that card, if it's of the specified type. Since the TIE/fo can equip that upgrade, it must be of that specified type. It's not that I don't see your logic, this doesn't turn lemons into bananas (I did point that out in my previous post). But following this logic, the TIE Fighters = TIE/fo Fighters (for this specific example).

The rules are vague on many points in this game, but that's normal for new games. And this is one of the most contradictory. I guess it doesn't make sense for many, including myself, why the ships must be of the same type. From a balance point of view, I don't see the advantage of docking one of each type over four of the same. You still have to pay for them, just as you would if they were fielded normally. I think this is a much more interesting discussion.
