So-far the only thing that would maybe make me not buy this game, is that I haven't seen a big fleet battle. And I'm wondering how many ships can be on screen in a battle. For instance, I dislike Swords of Stars because it has about 20 ships in its battles. As for the rest of the game, it looks amazing. And the customization of ships looks great.

One cannot have both large 100 unit fleets and interesting tactical combat.

You are right, we have not shown some of the bigger battles in the game. Also, you have not seen any battles with fighters/bombers/interceptors which are launched from bigger ships like battleships or cruisers. I am sure you will be pleased once we show video material of these things. Give us some time. :-)

Fighters/bombers sound wonderful
Finally a game developer who knows that scify without strikecraft is like Star Wars without Darth Vader.

The Rebel alliance would not have got any volunteers with the silly 4x game fighters design of 100% death rates.

Well, to chill your enthusiasm a little bit: strikecraft in Legends of Pegasus will not be controlable. They are automatically launched and re-launched from cruisers or battleships like a special weapon. But it of course gives more strategic depth and more life to a battle.

if i loose fighters/bombers/interceptors are they automatically regenerated over time or should i fly to a repair station or do i have to do something else?

I like this idea. I take it this means once launched they attack with their payload and dock again to refit like a real aircraft carrier. This is much better than the tiny fighters and bombers with infinit weaponry you see in most sci-fi games.

Will fighter recon be unnecessary for the battlefield then? Oh well, game still seems good.

I registered just to say shut up and take my money. All of it.

What's the difference between a fighter and an interceptor?

Interceptor primarily a defensive aircraft designed to intercept incoming bombers designed for speed so lack firepower of fighter. Fighters are designed to dogfight with other fighters so arnt as fast as interceptor but have more firepower. Hope that helps and all though i may be wrong.

Didn't see an answer for this and I am quite curious about it as well

No, you are quite correct. :-)
