The Agility Turbo

So, to finally make defenders better. I've came up with a 1 blue slot item idea.

-- introducing the Agility turbo! --
It boosts the speed of a ship, the rotation, and turret rotaion speed!
It even gives some HP!!!

Here are some common stats
10% boost all agility, 5% hp boost +0.2 agility boost, 0.1% hp boost, V = 20% all agility, 7.5% hp boost

14% boost all agility, 6% hp boost +0.3 agility boost, 0.2% hp boost, V = 29% all agility, 11% hp boost

20% boost all agility, 8% hp boost +0.5 agility boost, 0.3% hp boost, V = 45% all agility, 15.5% hp boost

22% boost all agility, 10% hp boost, +0.8 agility boost, 0.5% hp boost, V = 66% all agility, 17.5% hp boost

46% boost all agility, 16% hp boost, +0.5 agility boost, 0.3% hp boost, V = 71% all agility, 31% hp boost

Any blue perks can increase the stats

 

I’m not sure about the specific stats, but the idea of combining blue items with turbo is a solid one.

Since speed is not really optional, the only way to make Gearlube and Rudder able to compete with Turbo, would be if they could do ‘some’ of the same stuff (basically, give you speed).

Obviously, they shouldn’t give you as much speed as a full fledged Turbo... But enough to make them ‘an option’ at least.

I think that this is a much better idea than ‘nerfing’ turbo by moving speed onto the base ship stats. Firstly, because it doesn’t screw with anyone’s existing gear. Secondly, because it doesn’t needlessly buff Shields (which are already decent).

Great idea, this would completely fix one of the game’s most obvious balance problems.

@CaffeinatedChris I think this is worth the Dev’s attention (assuming they ever want people to use Gearlube and Rudder)
