I agree with you. Passively allowing the J-probe to approach our Probes is tantamount to suicide. The J-probe will likely be hostile since its stated purpose is to claim all there is for its masters. It cannot do that so long as there is even one representative of a preceeding mission left to counter the claim.

Outrunning may not be an option. The J-probe may be faster or otherwise mechanically superior. That leaves avoiding contact where possible, and always keeping it in front and using superior knowledge of the terrain where avoidance is not.
