SLAM:

"To SLAM, choose and execute a maneuver on the ship's dial. The chosen maneuver must be the same speed as the maneuver that ship executed this round. Then assign that ship a weapons disabled token."

Notice that the token is assigned as part of performing the action.

Advanced SLAM:

"After performing a  SLAM  action, if you did not overlap an  obstacle  or another ship, you may perform a  free action  on your action bar."

Advanced SLAM happens after you're done performing your SLAM action, which means you take the extra action after receiving a weapons disabled token. This pilot's ability triggers when you receive the weapons disabled token; in that instant, you can choose to take a stress token to remove it. If you do so, you will be stressed before Advanced SLAM can grant you an action. By the time Advanced SLAM comes around, the window of opportunity to take a stress to remove that weapons disabled token has passd.

I'd say he's still pretty good. Sure, Advanced SLAM gives you options (you can still fire a secondary weapon with the weapons disabled token, and you can enhance that shot with an action like target lock; or you can take the stress to fire your primary or a different weapon). But he's mostly made so you can function without Advanced SLAM and/or not depend on the title. He gives you the option.

For example, he could wield a Heavy Laser Turret or an Autoblaster, which don't mesh well with the title's second clause (not cost 2 or less), and SLAM to put enemies into arc/range. Just stress yourself to still get that shot in. Same for munitions. For example, he could SLAM and fire either an Autoblaster, Tractor Beam, Primary Weapon, or Harpoon Missile in this build:

Lieutenant Karsabi + XG-1 Assault Configuration + Predator + Autoblaster + Tractor Beam + Extra Munitions + Harpoon Missiles + Guidance Chips

Lots of options there. This pilot is here to let you explore builds other than the ones the titles suggest.
