One might want to take into account whether on not one exemps a lot, though. It could make a bigger difference on, say, Posi.
Dec out.

It's a boost to the base speed of all flight powers.

The buff to Speed was just supposed to be a 33% increase to the base speed. But they unintentionally made it 50%. Then, when they went to fix that, they accidentally buffed it even further!
Unenhanced Fly is now 9 mph over the flight cap. That is wrong. And Castle acknowledges it's wrong and said so.
Do not rely on the new overbuffed buff to stay like this.
I advise everyone to keep their enhancements exactly the way they've always been doing it until this gets properly fixed.

This makes sense, I thought Raptor Pack was pretty damn fast when I checked it on beta server.

Any suggestions as to slotting based on that then?

Bleah. It's too bad they're giving us the freespecs with the release instead of waiting a week or so. I'll probably find a number of different things I want to change after launch.

Assuming I did the math correctly, a 33% increase should put Flight Speed at 56.19 MPH with one SO enhancement, which is still about 2mph below the cap. Adding swift without any enhancements should put you over the cap to 60.7 mph.
If I'm right, I'd still probably only put one slot in fly from now on. I really doubt I'm going to notice the missing 2 mph.

It has not been unknown that in such situations where there are a lot of post-issue 'fixes' for them to issue another freespec.|

I expect a lot of post-issue 'fixes' once the teeming tens of thousands get a chance to break all the changes.

Edit: The following information on Fly in this post is apparently due to a bug that will be probably be changed before long. There will still be a buff, but not as big of one as I first thought.
