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 far 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.

abstract	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 far 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. In fact, due to its higher survivability, and the ability to couple it with an air staging facility means that in the long term, it can save you mass, be easier to manage and have a faster response time. Obviously, it depends upon what net result you're after, but occasionally in a long game, a single T3 torpedo bomber will often go further than six or even seven T2 torpedo bombers will, and not having them in large groups cuts down their susceptibility to flak (whether from ground defences, mobile flak or flak mounted on an Ithalua), which can be a life-saver, especially when dealing with said cruisers. Hordes of T2 torpedo bombers would likely be mown down, whereas a smaller number of casualties would be suffered from a single pass against one. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation, but is still somewhat better than the alternative. Useful tip: Since the torpedoes are launched early and travel so slowly, when dealing with an enemy such as a seraphim cruiser, tell it to attack, then AS SOON as the torpedoes are away tell the bomber to move away from the cruiser. This will require microing, but if done right, the Solace will destroy the Seraphim Cruiser and take little return damage.
