I think that the way that I use boosters makes a DD booster inefficient. My booster is essentially an expendable fuel tank; I put several scout based boosters with a fleet so that the fleet has almost enough fuel to make it to the destination at the desired speed. Then as the fleet moves I split boosters off of the fleet and transfer all of their fuel to the fleet so that the fleet can actually make it to the destination at the desired speed. This is most effeciently done if there is only one fuel tank per booster because I can then more finely calibrate the fuel. So having DDs, whether armed or not, would not have the intimidating effect because I would be splitting them off of the fleet before it reached its destination. Also, the extra mass of the DD vs. the scout means that the DD booster is using more of that precious fuel, so even though the DD carries more fuel it is also using more of that fuel to accompany the fleet.
