You'd think something like that, but unless they've gone and changed that aspect in the last little bit that's not it. Until the respecs that we got with the last issue I had one blaster that had an equal amount of slots in both fly and hover and had them slotted with the same number (and type) of IOs. When fly would suppress it would consistently be slower than hover.

I'm not sure if it suppressed down to base hover speed or not, but it was significantly slower than my slotted hover.
