11m/s is 24.6mph,a tad faster than alot of Olympic runners.
fun fact, top speed I've personally run at is 30mph- I was supposed to maintain that speed for 5 seconds but after recent surgery in my lower abdominal area I hadn't recovered fully enough to do that. Doubly fun, I was training with Olympic athletes at the time who were doing the same training only their goal was 35 mph for ten seconds.
These were on special treadmills with harnesses so there is that part, and air resistance is the major hurdle for getting past 26mph on an actual track, but Usain Bolt has been clocked at closer to 27mph. While current science proposes that top speed a human can reach is
40mph Not to mention that Cardiac Regulators and Kinetic Catalyzers are based off of EVE's boosters. Boosters have huge drawbacks. you inject them and they last from 5 minutes to an hour and after words you have a crash. Biotic mods in DUST don't suffer this problem for the same lore problems that dropuplink teleportation doesn't affect mercs: we're going to die so lets use every advantage we can. Plus the Scout suit's description says it is made to go faster and jump higher than normal. 7.63m/s on a Gallente Scout is
Top Speed problem the current base speed is uder 18mph. lol high-school sprint speeds are better than that. You're telling me that a body that should be trained to be peak physical health can't outrun a little 16 year old?
But Regardless of speed being the issue, so many tourists thinking they know about scouts. He you guys go, something that was coined by the patron saint of scouts:
Tourist ChecklistWas the proposed "fix" posted by someone other than a Scout?
Does the proposed "fix" include Shared Squad Sight in some form?
Does the proposed "fix" benefit others more than it benefits the Scout?
Does the proposed "fix" provide for nerfs to accompany any/all buffs?
Does the proposed "fix" receive unanimous support from non-Scouts?
Does the proposed "fix" perturb the majority of full-time Scouts?
Most of these suggestions look like they come from a bunch of people in Hawaiian tee shirts that keep staring up because the buildings are so tall.
