Super flight

So I was trying to make a Nova homage character and I noticed that flight is about half as fast as running. And really really fast flight in combat as well as other contexts is a part of the Nova thing.

Just adding an extra that doubles flight speed doesn't seem to be the best route to go. And of course flight 6+ is a cosmic thing.

Anyone done anything along these lines?

Hey, BellaStrega, Awesome Powers #1 has a great enhancement called Overdrive that you should check out. It insanely increases the speed of your Flight or Super Running powers, and would be perfect for your fast-flying, Nova-type hero character.

Thanks much - I must have missed that when I read through the first time.

Ah, looking it up, it's a full panel action just to go that fast and appear to teleport, I am looking for something that would enable flight to use Super Running numbers instead for normal move actions.

I kind of wonder if an extra to simply use the running calculation for flight would work. Throw Boost and Overdrive on top of that and it's just about perfect.

So you want to base it off Agility instead of 5 sq per level?

I want the option to base it off agility. Or at least the option to cap out at 40 sq/panel at 5 pts (+ extras).
