So I replaced some enhancements with better stuff. Was using some 25 SOs for flight speed bonuses. Put 30s in it (i'm level 28), and it seems like I'm only getting my base speeds for flight, and hover. Is this just because the game isn't stacking the bonuses (and if this is the case why not), or am I missing something?

It does this with swift as well. Only getting base flight speed bonus.

Thanks for any feedback.

Not really sure what "only getting base speeds" means. IIRC, the breakdown of the display shows some extraneous plus and minus numbers that are the result of some compromise for Hover speed or some muddled thing like that.

However, it doesn't really matter. Due to the new flight speed change, no level of flight requires any speed enhancement whatsoever -- you should see a light blue number, indicating you're at the speed cap. Not only will adding a higher-level flight speed enhancement not increase it, but taking everything out of the slot entirely won't decrease your speed.

If this is true, then why do flight speed enhancements still populate the stores?

Also are you 100% sure that this is true?

Is there a place to see flight speeds and power caps anywhere?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm slowly picking up where I left off.

As usual, the wiki has what you need.

Thanks for the link to the wiki.i found a few other wikis and just wasn't sure how accurate they where. I remember flight speeds being capped at around 50mph before my hiatus.

Thanks for the feedback folks.
