This is what the rules says about upgrade cards and ship types:

" This upgrade can only be equipped to a ship of the specified type. If the ship's type includes the entirety of the restricted type, it can equip that upgrade."

Byt these words, TIE/fo Fighters must be the same type as TIE Fighters (what the hell was that crap about the other TIE types? Seriously? You stoop that low?).

Having had the Gozanti in hand, I believe there might be another reason for this wording (since it doesn't really make sense flavour-wise and I can't really see the tactical significance of docking different types of ships). TIE Fighters can physically dock behind Interceptors but not TIE Advanced. TIE Advanced can dock behind both, but neither can dock in front of the Interceptors. So maybe they made this rule, just because the designs of the different ships doesn't allow docking in between them. TIE Bombers can't dock physically at all, due to their bomb bay.

Another argument, kind of a counter-argument to my self, is that rule above doesn't apply to this card at all, since it's an upgrade card for the Gozanti and not for TIE Fighters at all and the text is final. It's the only card that involves reference to two other ships that may the same type. This would mean the TIE/fo Fighters aren't allowed to dock at the Gozanti at all.
