Favorite Travel Power

#4 - Teleport - Have had it on only one alt, didn't like it all that much, and feel like I HAVE to take hover to make it viable, power picks are more important to me than that.
#3 - Superspeed - Lived with this on my alt for the longest time, coupled with cloaking device the stealth aspect was great. But I missed the vertical, now I have jumpjet, but I didnt' back in the day.
#2 - Superjump - Feels the most super to me, leaping buildings in a single bound and all that. Combat jumping never a bad prerequisite for me, and getting to acrobatics is nice as well for some at's of mine.
#1 - Flight - Always my first travel power love. Air superiority is a no brainer fill attack for me, and even with only a couple slots I don't mind the travel speed, although it could be tweaked up a little.
hehe.. I am a glutton for punishment I guess... I use 3 slot hover 
(with flight SO) works for me.
Hmmm...
1. Flight is just too cool. I also like both Hover and Air Superiority, so it's painless to get.
2. Super Speed is very, very fun on the hero end of things. I love cruising across Steel Canyon. Hasten's also nice to have. However, I found the power nothing but annoying on the villain side: too many pits and cramped streets.
3. I have a love-hate relationship with Teleport. I like Recall Friend and Teleport Foe, and it's nice to speedily 'Port around the city's skies. Unfortunately, it only reaches its full utility in combination with Hover.
4. I've never even tried Super Jump. It just doesn't appeal all that much, especially when I can take Flight instead.

Shalva - AR/Nrg - "Shalva means peace, as in, 'Rest in...'"
Victory
Atomic Balm - Emp/Rad - "There's nothing like gamma rays for clearing the mind."
I try them all.. even with hotkey Teleport.. it is hard for me. SJ is nice. I like it. but I personally LOVE flying mainly it is the "easiest" way to fly in my book. You can get around anywhere and you can hover at the "ceiling" and not have to worry about being shot down 
Super Jump or Flight are my perfered depending on concept. But for my Blaster, I enjoying using the Medicom. Nothing like knowing that there's gonna be a beautiful nurse on the other side just a button push away before I smack pavement.
I use them all depending on character concept, but my favorite is without a doubt fly. With three SO's in it, even suppressed it's fast enough to use in combat, and for a blaster, there's something about gliding around the battlefield blasting away.
And just last night I was engaging Raiders in the sky over Terra Volta. How cool is that?
I like hoverport I like the ability to teleport without danger..then recall my friends all to me. it would love nothing more than to combine the 2 pools into one uberpool hover...recall friend...telepoert....fly who needs that group stuff.
Fly FTW!
Super speed. ZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm mm
Wuwuzat? O_O
Super jump + Super speed is good good times.
If your still reading this thread Lighthouse, I agree 100% with what you said about trying to hit buildings and other terrain features on just the right spot. Did you ever play the old Megaman Ledgends game on Playstation? I rented that one night out of pure boredom and got some slidey-dashy-skatey leg attachments, and had a real blast just flying through the game just jumping off of things. That sort of speed and freedom didn't exist anywhere else until I tried CoHeros and got combat jumping+Hurdle. I think that early experience jumping and running around in galaxy city and atlas park are a big part of why I even stayed with CoH among the other options.
In villains Super Jump is the best overall. In heros Super Speed is the best.
I'm for flying too, though I'm rather new at the game and I only started to hover. Got it enhanced so it's almost like flying... landing though is tough.
Wish I could ice-slide or websling also; that would be really cool

If you get the Deluxe edition you can "powerslide". Not quite the same as ice-sliding, instead of ice you get purpley light effects and no vertical movement, but the body stance is there.

On Upsen, I used to use Teleport before ED, cause of the huge distances you could cover by 6-slotting range, faster than any other power. I use fly currently, cause I always liked it better stylistically.
Upsen.
I know this is a cheat...but my favorite way to travel in the game is the one character that has two to his name: Superspeed and Super Jump. Once I hit a rooftop with SJ, I can usually use the momentum of SS along with a few deft taps of the space bar to have him racing along the roofstops. I wish it fit all my chartacter concepts...and I wish I had room for it in the builds.
If you're going to make me pick just one...then I gotta go with fly. Fly just makes you feel like a superhero.

Fly because I can be a spectator of things happening on the ground. That, and I can't be reached 90% of the time. I'm also three dimensional, and that's always fun.
I like Flight, simply because it is the lowest Maintenance. Click the toggle, press auto-run and go AFK for a few minutes or chat with my SG.
I like Super Jump because of its combination of speed and vertical movement. It's also handy in PvP. It's a maintenance power, though. It's difficult to chat when you constantly hold down the spacebar. (Yeah, I know...remap the key!)
I like Teleport due to it's speed and PvP benefits. It takes a lot of getting used to, though.
I like Superspeed mainly due to speed. I typically take it in combination with another travel power, though.

Remap the key? Zuh?

Tap z, autoruns and autojumps until I tap it again.

Silly Castle, you need to make yourself on autojump bind.

I'm sorry, but is this a sick joke? Seriously, are you listing this as a positive? I mean, anyone can slow down if they want to. I could stand around and chat, then sj, tp, or ss to my destination.
That's like saying "I like fire armor because it really let's me appreciate the newer ragdoll effects and I notice all those wonderful psi attacks".
Doesn't this seem off to anyone else?
You want people to like fly? Add in some epic feeling aerial combat. Give hover a resist to -fly. Make having true, unrestricted 3d movement actually mean something.
Other than GV, which used to require me to use my flight temp powers for easy navigation, there's never been a reason or a place where fly would have been more useful than sj or tp. Now w/ the GvE jump pack, I will only ever take fly if I'm tight on powers but want air sup (since it's such a great attack).

WHAT?! No "lol, PvP!" Post! Castle is sick!
I'm with Castle on Fly. The "I have a chance to chat while en route" aspect of Fly is quite nice.

Two words: Shadow Shard. Certainly better than SJ there, and more versatile than TP.
For that matter, it's a hell of a lot easier to scout out a zone ("Find the twelve glowies in this outdoor map") with Fly, and it's better than anything besides SS in whipping through an interior map at high speed.

True. It's nice to be able to bring the battle to various hovering mobs (e.g., Sky Raiders), but there's sense of aerial combat and movement. Though, to be fair, mobs on the ground don't move all that intelligently, either.
Yes, Fly is slower than other powers, but I find the versatility (and relaxation) more than makes up for it. YMMV (and that's what makes a horse race).
Flight is the best for me. I helps me with video lag. I can set it and go potty.
AND if I could have 1 power in RL it would be to fly.

No, it's not a joke. You clearly don't like fly and don't use it. I know myself and a number of my friends who have fliers really appreciate this aspect of it - it's safe and lets us relax between doing our herowork.
Don't blow stuff all out of proportion. Castle is posting here in his capacity as a player, to a fun thread; not as a dev, propagandizing.

Oh, that's right, I completely forgot that UBARRZZZ is the only reason to take any power, and nobody ever has the right to disagree with you for any reason. Right, UBARRZZZ, I'll make a note of it. How many Bs in UBARRZZZ?

Flight allows you to "loiter" and scan a zone for specific groups without aggroing half the map. Try finding a nice group of freakshow in Terra Volta with SJ. It can be done, but it's a lot more work.
