I actually sealed a win in a recent team game, by doing just that -- slipped some cloaked drone carriers into the enemy's home systems, and obliterated a half-dozen built-up worlds in each. Completely glassed about 1/3 to 1/2 of the enemy's real industrial capacity that way.

Granted, I and my teammate were already winning, it was only a matter of time ... but even if we hadn't been, those drones would have done some HEAVY damage to the enemy, all out of proportion to their cost.

It's a shame you can't put a starkiller component on a drone; it'd be a great way to pop entire enemy star systems. Heh.
