I posted this on the player's questions forum, but figured i'd get a faster more accurate answer here.

For the SG healing badges, does a player that already has max health get credit towards a healing badge for healing himself? Or for that matter does he get credit for healing himself at all?

This is essentially a prestige exploit for CoH players. There isn't any equivalent to it in CoV, where you actually have to fight things that might present a risk of death in order to earn decent amounts of prestige. Being a primarily CoV player now, I appreciate the devs taking this step actually.

I personally find it ridiculous that Super Leap is faster than Fly. How can someone hop up and down faster from point A to point B than someone flying in a straight line? Sad.

The real issue in this question is balance. While logistically speaking yes you should be able to get from point A to point B faster when moving in a straight line. However, the balance supposedly comes from flight's safety (I'm not advocating what the devs have done in fact I find it just as deplorable as you, I'm just trying to reasonably explain it.) The risk when taking off from point A using SJ is in the fact that you inevitably must land, occasionally in a group of mobs. Whereas, using flight all mobs (save the high flying longbow versions of sky skiffs etc.,) are avoidable lowering the amount of risk you have. If flight were faster that SJ, SS, or TP, than what would be the point of anyone taking any of the other travel powers if they can get from point A to point B not only faster with flight, but also much, much more safely.
