Description
Age of Aquarius Tech Room Description
The Eos torpedo is a nuclear weapon carried in large numbers by Raynor-class destroyers. One of a number of munitions that can be launched from the Raynor's multiple missile batteries, the Eos is a long-range weapon with about half the yield of bomber-delivered Cyclops warheads. Though its role in the Raynor's arsenal is supplementary to that of beams, it has a powered flight range of nearly 6000 meters and it can engage enemies at any angle. Torpedoes are expected to play an even greater role in GTVA tactical doctrine in years to come.

Veteran Comments
Outside of its SSM capabilites, the Eos is garbage. Each warhead can easily be shot down, and even when they hit they don't do much damage-coupled with their long recharge time, this knocks the Eos's sustained damage down to about half that of the SGreen. The Raynor would do well to swap its Eos batteries with some Cyclops or Fusion Mortars.
