I just want to ask others out there to put Carriers as primary targets in PvP.

The pets are ruining my fun, except for the fun of seeing the pets vanish when the mothership explodes.

So I urge everyone, make Carriers your primary target! Maybe some of them will get sick of it and switch to a non-spamming ship...

    Tried it right when the Atrox came out, does not work. They still spam. Besides the practicality of it is not there. Carriers, set up right, are about as tough as cruisers to take out. Popping squishies is what counts in PvP. Problem is Cruisers and carriers can be squishy as a BoP or escort if you can time it right and catch them when their heals are on cool down. Wail on their escorts and be ready to swap to a carrier if you see they have been cross healing the escort you were wailing on.

    Not fighting Carriers is violating the Prime and the Omega Directive and is a court martial offense. Even if Hale is around.

    But to make things simpler, Hale should just start flying Carriers. We all pool together and gift him an Atrox or Armitage?

    I don't know how pointless it is, but in some matches it seems to help if I use a lot of cannon spread to take out subcraft, particularly danubes.

    Yeah, it's not a kill, and perhaps there are much better tasks for an escort, but somebody's gotta do it, and most Fed PuGs are horrible.

    One does not simply target stevehale OR carriers.

    I'm cool with people calling me primary, its alot easier to heal yourself than some moron flying around like a crackfiend.

    Then you scramble Hale and hope he rams the carrier!

    Do as I did. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Otherwise, I'll see you in game.
