Enemy Carrier blasts me to bits

[Mr. Charles]

After a few Carrier assaults i can say that it is pretty hard for me to attack the other carrier, as my offensive cannon is the first thing to get nuked. Can anybody tell me how to attack the carrier with higher chances of survival? The only time i managed to sink the damn thing was when i threw all my Mantas at it to cover my back for a retreat. After repairing all my systems i could finish the other carrier off pretty easily, as it just sat there with the damage i'd done before the retreat.

What seems to work for me is to hit there main battery when they first get into range, after that i just cherry pick the other turrets

At least in the new version your best weapons can fire forward, unlike the Hammerhead in the original!
