Haven't had that much experience playing with/against sosp bubble
carriers.
But I understood that  the fighters , by attacking the opposition,
effectively protect the carriers, so that they rarely are engaged ? If
that
is a successful tactic and soap bubbles rarely get hit, it would seem to
me
an acceptable tactic even in "real" life.
