How do I know if the Caslon is reserved?

Go to the information screen for your gas mining station.
Look in the tab that shows what resources are present at the station (the "Cargo" tab).
There are two columns for figures - the one on the left is the total amount and the one on the right is the reserved amount.

Half of a hanger bay capacity is always fighters. The other half always bombers. You will never have all fighters or all bombers. It's always half and half.

That isn't entirely true. You can manually build fighters and bombers at whatever ratio you want, as long as your ships can support that ratio. It's a bit of a pain to manually set the fighter compositions, especially if you have multiple large carriers, and automated loss replacement shifts the balance back towards the default 50-50 split over time anyways so it's not really worth doing, at least not in my opinion, but it can be done.

Yeah, not sure why there isn't a policy option for fighter bay loadouts.

The 50/50 split is hard-coded as best I can tell.

However, you can mod the number of fighters each bay holds (I've actually done so and it works). The bays will still split 50/50 on fighter/bomber composition.
