Flight Speed

[Sidious]

Just wondering, would it be possible to lift the cap on flight speed or at least raise it from it's current?

I also think it could use a buff.

The maximum speed cap for movement types is inversely proportional to the freedom of movement offered by those movement types.

 

Or to explain it the way that I always put it in chat channels back on Virtue ...

Superspeed is faster in a straight line, but Flight flies in straighter lines.

I think the point is in a super hero game you should feel like a super hero. Hard to feel that way when you move at the speed of a kite .

My understanding was that while balancing 3d freedom was a factor, the main reason was always technical -- what computers back in 2004 could keep up with rendering.

 

It's 15 years later. Bring the speed.

The technical speed limitation is in Super Speed. Fly’s speed limitation is a matter of balance.

I think fly is fine, but TP needs a huge endurance cost reduction...

A flyer can potentially see the whole zone, however. SS sticks to ground level and ramps.

"Balancing" travel abilities is not so important anymore in an age where we have P2W teleport abilities dropping us at a mission door or porting directly to our SG bases.

That’s all client-side. The issues that going faster than Super Speed caps can cause involve the server, I imagine.
