An element of deja vu here. 
Overall...more trouble to implement than it'd be worth, IMHO.
Agreed. It's a no from me.
Obviously for close combat etc it shouldn't be changed, but for zonal movement ( IP prime example ) I still think it's fine.
Yes, it takes longer, but you do have the advantage of fly high, point in the right direction, hit auto-run, go make coffee.
I think improving flyspeed at all in any area will be a bad idea.
The only way I can see it possibly working personally is to add a *huge* amount of inertia to a boosted flyspeed, so manouverability is completely shot to hell, including stopping
Fahie
Flight speed I think is fine, though as a PB, Quantum Flight should increase the max cap since it does use 6 end/sec
apologies, didnt see the other thread (I did search though!)
no, wait, put down the zippo and the petrol can....
flight speed is capped at 58 mph (approx). Fair enough, it has advantages over SS and teleport (though you try flying past a mob to get from one side of a room to the other and see the reaction. you dont get that with SS or TP).
my suggestion would be that we leave flight speed alone as it is , for combat flight.
If you turn more than once in 30 seconds, if you toggle the fly power, if you are within a certain distance of the ground, you are considered to be in combat flight mode where you cant go full speed because you need to be able to react to the environment around you.
If however you are travelling to a location, generally you gain height and go in a straight line (at least I do) . so my suggestion:
Travel Flight: raise the cap to equal SS. travel flight only happens if:
you fly for 20 seconds without more than 1 direction change.
you have constant motion (hovering in place doesnt count).
you are at least a set height above the ground level.
You are not actively attacking a target (ie: no attack power activated with a target in place , whether or not it is out of range or recharging)
not 100% my idea. the pnp Rpg Villains and vigilantes ahd rules similar to this for handling supersonic flight speeds and combat situations.
