You can either rush in and do a screaming ogg or you can anticipate his targets. It has good speed, and fairly good fuel regen. Everything else sucks too much fuel or is too slow. Remember that tractor beams abort warp. The enemy can't escape if you are tractoring.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
If one of our carriers is going someplace dangerous, he probably needs an escort. If you know his destination you can arrange to get there first and do space control to hassle enemy oggers or defenders. Your life is not worth as much as the carrier's so don't be afraid to mutual if you can't outright defeat your opponent. The enemy will build shipyards and agris. This sometimes falls in with scouting except that a scout bombs poorly.
