So it seems to me, the far cheapest option would be to have individual air
locks and small bays for the ships to attach to.

If we’re talking about small fighters, might it be cheaper to have your pilots
wear evac suits in a non-pressurized landing bay? • snip

If you will remember, the standard TIE fighter pilot had to wear and EVA suit
during the entire flight. Most SW tech manuals that cover this small fighter
point out that to make it cheap and fast, it has NO environmental systems
what-so-ever.
You don your suit and helmet, float out to the fighter, climb in (or on) and
shoot things!
