The Aeon T3 Torpedo Bomber, nicknamed the Solace, is an Aeon unit. It is a bomber.

From a purely economic viewpoint, the Solace is completely inferior to the Aeon T2 Skimmer. Although faster and with more fuel, HP and DPS (it's DPS is almost 6x that of a Skimmer), it costs exponentially more mass, energy and time to construct; you could build approximately 6 or 7 Skimmers for the cost of a single Solace. Although the improved speed is effective in protecting it from interception by enemy ASFs, large numbers of Skimmers are almost always a safer bet than the Solace for dealing with enemy naval units. Additionally, due to the Solace's use of torpedoes rather than depth charges, it is likely that it's weapon is also vulnerable to anti-torpedo weapons, while the Skimmer can avoid this by mounting depth charges.

It can, however, be very useful for sniping enemy commanders hiding in the water, or when a torpedo bomber with more overall durability is needed.
