Reading the other thread about the Death Star got me thinking about Torpedo Spheres. Will we see one in Armada?
The Torpedo Sphere is "only" 1900 meters in diameter, so a little longer than an Imperial Star Destroyer at 1600m. I think the ISD being in the game is a certainty, so there are already going to be ships of this size range. At least part of the reason for the Imperial Raider was to get the iconic Star Destroyer look in something of the appropriate size for XWM. Putting the Torpedo Sphere into Armada would be directly analagous.
I doubt it would be Wave 2, but it seems like there is a decent precedent for this to happen. What do you think? What would the Rebels get to counter it?
Torpedo Sphere
I kind of doubt it. While it is fairly common in the EU it isn't very iconic, and it was exceedingly expensive, it took a huge effort for anyone to gather enough munitions to actually be able to use the Torpedo Sphere.
I'd think the rebels would get it if anyone did, they seem to have had more use out of it (there were a few instances of Imps using it, but that was primarily against other Imps rather than against Rebs).
Wasn't the Torpedo Sphere a planetary bombardment weapon, and not meant to be used for direct combat?
