[Star Wars] Why didn’t the First Order just send TIE Fighters to destroy the rest of the Resistance ships?

Kylo and two TIE fighters destroyed an entire cruiser by themselves. With an entire fleet of Star Destroyers, including Snoke’s personal ship, they should have had enough TIE fighters to turn the rest of them into space dust as opposed to firing from a distance and waiting for their fuel to run out.

The reason they pulled Kylo and the other fighters back in the first place is that the Resistance had pulled enough distance that the cruisers couldn't support the fighters any longer, which puts them at greater risk.  With no powerful need to destroy them immediately rather than in a few hours, there's no reason to throw away those ships and pilots.

The other bit is that it opens up an escape opportunity for the Resistance.  If the First Order launches fighters, the fighters make the transit to the Resistance ships, then the ships jump away, the First Order has to recover fighters before they can jump as well.  That gives the Resistance a window of time in which to make a second jump and break the hyperspace tracking lock.

Now they couldn't actually do that because they were too low on fuel for two jumps, but the First Order didn't know that for sure, and so had to take that threat into consideration.
