Quantum Acceleration

Not sure if it has ever been addressed, but how come QA has no effect on Combat Flight even though in the game description it says it does. When I look at the in-game numbers my speed does not change when that power is active on CF versus EF.

Good question.

I figured that this had already been brought up, but I guess not. When I asked more people in the game that have been here while they weren't even aware that it didn't affect Combat Flight.

Quantum Acceleration (and Afterburner) increase the speed cap, not your flight speed. So, while they technically increase Combat Flight/Hover's speed cap, since your flight speed wasn't capped without it, you see no speed increase.

Quantum Acceleration DOES affect combat flight. You don't see the effect because it's difficult to cap combat flight's speed.

It's easy to cap flight speed, it's easy to go OVER the cap with a single Flight IO. When you turn on QA, the cap rises, and Flight now provides the speed that was suppressed.

It's not so easy to cap combat flight speed. It's nearly always under the cap. When QA is activated, the cap is raised, but the actual speed doesn't change because there's no part of combat flight speed that was suppressed.

Alright, that makes sense. I was completely looking at it wrong.
