Yes, the Aphid Stalker is a useful tactical setup --- but you have to be cool with not getting the top beacon or damage gold awards (and low silver too). Running around in the red's back field and flipping their home beacons will result in a blue team win most of the time, but your teammate's thanks do not fill up your reserves of silver and gold.

I stopped using the Aphid Stalker - not because it doesn't work - but rather that I was not making enough Ag/Au doing it. I think CatnHat said a while back that Stalkers work in top tier, as long as only 2-3 of them exist in your entire team's inventory - more than that and your damages will be held down so much that its like you have 5 pilots with only 4 bot slots in top tier.
