Did you misunderstand me?

I'm well aware it can do both in separate battles.
Not contesting that.

But in a single battle, where I have both a destroyer seeking to catch your armed probe, and a freighter seeking to avoid your probe, you'll have to get into range of the DD to reach the freighter.

Did some simulations with a WM probe. Set the following orders:
Prime: Unarmed
Sec: None
Tactic: Disengage

With this tactic you have a fair chance of bypassing 0.5-1.25 speed destroyers and hitting the freighters Shocked

. It depends on chance really, cause the probe sometimes flies stright into the destroyer. Mad

Basookas can help. If your probe is destroyed, their chance to gain tech is 50% thus many battels are needed to boost their weap significantly. If you build destoyers to escort your freighters, it means that you divert your resources from econ building in a bad way if you build fac. This way armed scouts are useful even if they don't manage to kill anything, they force you to build expensive escort vessels.

I rest my case... Rolling Eyes

In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
