Have you tried capturing the carrier?  By the end of the game, I ended up with two Turanic carriers.

Odd.  Homeworld nor cataclysm allows you to salvage mothership classed vessels (classed in the ships file that is) and the Turanic Carrier is a mothership classed vessel.  My only guess either you modded the game or I'm missing something here.

When dealing with Strike Craft, Assault Frigates are your friends

I'm now on the mission with the 3 Kadeshi Motherships, sending swarms after me.

Wish me luck.

And also, about the unit-capping/support units thing. I prefer the Cataclysm system, as although it does tend to force you to use an all-one-class fleet, this is not necescarily a bad thing. I tend to use Acolytes, and nothing else.

That's why I get utterly thrashed in Cata MP games, damned EMP...

My strategy, regardless in HW or HW:C, is always: capture, capture, CAPTURE!

I would construct tons of salvage corvettes and go after Kadeshi multi-beam frigates.  In that mission specifically, I would suggest sending a destroyer group to one of the nearest motherships and vaporize it.  Don't bother with drone frigates if you're Somtaaw, but do get some defense-field frigates if you're Taiidan.  Order several support vessels to repair your mothership and and another to repair your group of destroyers.  In that mission, multitasking is king!

I like most of that game, except for the Supernova Station....

Homeworld : Too few resources
Cataclysm : Too many resources.

I hope they get it right for Homeworld 2.
