The flight speed cap has always been the same, I don't know why you saw something higher in Mids'. You may have been misinterpreting the display, since Mids' tells you both your flight speed as if there were no cap, and what it's been capped to.
Most (all?) flight powers have a speed debuff as well as a buff. Because the debuff is written to not be affected by enhancements, this means that each flight enhancement you add is more beneficial to your overall speed than it otherwise would have been, without making the base speed too high.

Maybe I did mis-read it. But with the flight speed displayed to the left of the bar in the graph, and the total over cap displayed in a tooltip, not sure how I mixed them up.
It may be you are right, and the speed cap is still the same, and it could all be that I just saw for the first time the actual debuff displaying in my movements window in game. I had never seen it before the other night. (Or perhaps I just didn't remember seeing it, old age and all that...)
I'd like to go back and double-check, but my family was kind enough to let me know Mids needed updating, and took care of it for me... -.-'
Current version shows the 58.6 cap.
And thanks for the reply Fleeting Whisper.

Ditto. I never noticed the debuff display before issue 17. My speed is still the same, it just has the confusing negative numbers added to the list of modifiers.

Were you exemped? The speed cap slowly goes up with your level, and I always notice when one of my level 50 flyers gets exemped. I haven't noticed this debuff before, so I'll have to look.

I could be (probably am) mistaken, but I think the "debuff" numbers you are seeing are how the real numbers monitor displays the travel-speed-suppression effect.

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
It could also be a buff/debuff from friend or foe. ie: Increase Density gives you a -Speed.
Stealth from the Concealment power pool is also a drag on flight speed with it's -speed.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
I was just comparing my movement speeds the other day, and was surprised to discover a negative bonus to many of the flight powers. (Fly, hover, Raptor Pack, Jump Pack) I also noticed that the cap for flight speed is now about 58.63mph. I checked with an older version of Mids, and cap seemed to be about 73mph then. I've gone through all the release notes since I17, and can't seem to find where it says they lowered Flight cap speed.
Anyone happen to have seen where they lowered flight cap speed, and why?
