'''Speed Demons''' get 'More Speed!' The [[Speed Demon Class]] gives Speed +2%, Firing Rate +3%, +10% Docking Speed. These stats are also amplified by 3 tertiary skills availible only to Speed Demon Class via the Speed Demon Centre in [[Lyceum]]:

*'''Speedy Movement''': 'The Hallmark of the Speed Demon: Speed!' +2% Speed, +2% Thrust
+
Like the name suggests, '''Speed Demons''' (or '''SDs''') live life in the fast lane -- they fly fast and shoot fast. SDs embody the arcade style of combat where shooting and movement take centre stage.
  
−
*'''Speedy Firing''': +4% Rate of Fire, +1% Critical Hit Percentage, +1% Damage - these bonuses are scaled by your speed
+
SDs have very high burst damage potential, with their [[Super Items#Quickened Demon Tracking Device|tracking device super items]] that allow them to deal doubled damage to a specific target for a few seconds. This stacks with temporary bonuses like +% Damage and -% Recoil, which allows SDs to dish out damage several times higher than their regular output. With a combination of high mobility, high burst, and heightened radar bonuses, SDs alongside [[Seer Class|Seer]]s are well suited for assassination-style plays.
  
−
*'''Dogfighting''': 'Get in close and Personal.' +2% Damage, +2% Tracking, +2% Turning, -2% Range
+
The four aug slots of a light fighter allows for a variety of build styles for SDs. An SD can choose to be a glass cannon, a long range duelist, a low-vis assassin, or a tiny flying tank -- often crossing over into multiple styles in varying degrees depending on the player's goals.
  
 +
However, there are some limitations that the class operates within, such as the Sub Skill '''Dogfighting''''s -30% range penalty, and the naturally low hull space and resistances of light fighters. SDs have to balance their gear to make room for loot or weapons, and maneuver between the attack patterns of enemies to get within firing range.
  
−
The Prerequisite for this skill is [[Recon Focus]], and your level of [[Speed Demon Class]] cannot be trained any higher than your level in [[Recon Focus]], just as your level in any of the tertiary skills cannot exceed your level in the [[Speed Demon Class]].
+
Beyond combat, SD enjoys its speed everywhere else. Players often designate an SD character to be their main storage/hauling character, as the class's speed bonuses will translate over into ships like industrial freighters. An SD flying a [[Divine Behemoth]] or [[Honey Badger]] can reach 700 speed with relative ease, allowing augmenter setups to focus more on capacity or agility over raw speed.

A Ruined Haraka SD, fighting a Lunarian in Kalthi Depths with the help of some combat bots -- two Vultures and a Faranji Stinger. A stream of Burning Blossom projectiles, a Titan Mining Laser, and two multifired Kalthi Fires chip at the Moonfighter's hull.

Like the name suggests, Speed Demons (or SDs) live life in the fast lane -- they fly fast and shoot fast. SDs embody the arcade style of combat where shooting and movement take centre stage.

SDs have very high burst damage potential, with their tracking device super items that allow them to deal doubled damage to a specific target for a few seconds. This stacks with temporary bonuses like +% Damage and -% Recoil, which allows SDs to dish out damage several times higher than their regular output. With a combination of high mobility, high burst, and heightened radar bonuses, SDs alongside Seers are well suited for assassination-style plays.

The four aug slots of a light fighter allows for a variety of build styles for SDs. An SD can choose to be a glass cannon, a long range duelist, a low-vis assassin, or a tiny flying tank -- often crossing over into multiple styles in varying degrees depending on the player's goals.

However, there are some limitations that the class operates within, such as the Sub Skill Dogfighting's -30% range penalty, and the naturally low hull space and resistances of light fighters. SDs have to balance their gear to make room for loot or weapons, and maneuver between the attack patterns of enemies to get within firing range.

Beyond combat, SD enjoys its speed everywhere else. Players often designate an SD character to be their main storage/hauling character, as the class's speed bonuses will translate over into ships like industrial freighters. An SD flying a Divine Behemoth or Honey Badger can reach 700 speed with relative ease, allowing augmenter setups to focus more on capacity or agility over raw speed.
