Plus the chances of hitting a freighter is slight, compareably speaking to say hitting a random planet or asteroid.
Mass drivers and anti matter weapons would more than likely be the big nasties...being able to convert a mass driver into an antimatter mass driver would be double points.

I essentially said this, only in a far more technical way. The bottom line of my last post is essentially: possible, yes, probable? No way.
A conventional missile would be more likely to cause serious damage to an unintended target, and even then, it is far more likely to hit something that isn't exactly critical to life.
