Krsqk,
Your ideas work well against standard 'capital' ships with heavy direct-fire weapons. They are less effective against missile-bearing ships due to the extreme range disadvantage, and nearly useless against a race that emphasizes fighters (carriers) and/or drones. Units on a ship don't count as 'weapons' for the Tachyon Projection Cannon.
So, about all you could do to carriers is destroy their PDC. As always, rock/paper/scissors offers a way around a supposed 'good trick'...
