You're at one of the hardest parts of the game, in my opinion. You've just gotta be creative and keep trying over and over again.

BTW, if you ever give up, what happens if you skip the cutscene just before the carrier appears? Just make sure you do come back to do it sometime, otherwise you'll feel like ya cheated.

This may be cheating a little; when Hoffer yells "Cal, I'm depending on you. Take out that ship!", immediately target the carrier, fire a deadshot missile, then run like hell. (Don't LDS away; just keep some distance between you and the carrier.) It will come only after YOU. Tell your wingmen to attack the carrier, and, most of the time, they'll take it out in 30 seconds flat. Not really the most noble way to fight, eh? <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

If done correctly (and if luck is on your side), the carrier will be destroyed, and you can help mop-up the rest of the bad guys before they scrap Hoffer's ship.

I used triple beams, and it went down in roughly five seconds. Three cutting beams, two assault cannons + Advanced Patcom = teh win ;)

Plus, you can always use disruptors on the Carrier.

Better be a past-tense modifier on that contraction, bubba. Even though it was still hideously overpowered, it was much more balanced by 0.4/0.5 :p
