When I level to 16 I will have the option of both superspeed and fly as a travel power. Before I decide, I would like to hear the experience of people who have them.

When I level to 16 I will have the option of both superspeed and fly as a travel power. Before I decide, I would like to hear the experience of people who have them. It really depends on a few things. Character type. Character concept/story (if that matters to you.) They both have advantages and disadvantages. Fly costs a lot of endurance, and has a large accuracy penalty so you can't really fight while using it. It does give you access to everywhere though and it can be used while afk (turn on fly, aim in the right direction, go get a drink and come back to find yourself wedged up against the far wall in safety.) Superspeed on the other hand has a very low endurance cost and can be used in combat.  It also comes with stealth lite as a bonus, which can be pretty handy if you don't have stealth. The disadvantage is there's no vertical component so you have to follow the roads - this means you take longer getting to (some) places. Faultline *really* demonstrates this weakness. If you attack from range and have hover, fly is probably your better choice. If you're a melee type, SS might be the better choice IF you have or are going to have hurdle which will give you some needed vertical ability. SS can be quite good on a scrapper, since you can zip to the next mob almost instantly, and you can flee damn fast if you have to. Fly is the slowest of the powers, SS is the fastest, but that's just fastest in MPH, not necessarily fastest to destination. Xocyll

When I level to 16 I will have the option of both superspeed and fly as a travel power. Before I decide, I would like to hear the experience of people who have them. If all you want is a travel power I would suggest Fly.  SS is a pain when you get to obstacles that you need to get around.

When I level to 16 I will have the option of both superspeed and fly as a travel power. Before I decide, I would like to hear the experience of people who have them. It depends on your temperment. Fly is the slowest travel power, although it is still fairly fast. It is a set it and forget it power, allowing you pin-point control and near complete safety. It's useless except when traveling, due to built-in limitations.  It costs a lot of endurance, but that's hardly important considering you can't actually make use of it in situations where Endurance is crucial. Super Speed is the fastest travel power, but also the most limited.  You have to go around most obstacles, and in some situations it's not even viable as a travle power. However, It can be useful in non-travel situations, granting a Stealth bonus, and allowing you to move fast in combat.  It costs few endurance points. It's animation is assinine considering it grants a Stealth bonus.
