The increment of ones speed in the game of Survival 303 is a very controversial subject here in the suggestions thread. Many suggestions about speed boosts have been made, and the community is always very split over the fairness of a walkspeed increment.

This thread has been made, not to discuss a new idea, but simply the topic in general. What are your opinions on the subject? Why do you think this? Do you feel there is a way to implement it fairly, and if so, what would make it fair?

For me, I'm all for the idea of a speedboost. Not a particularly large one, as you can achieve that with fast carts, but a moderate, controlled, walkspeed increment of about 2-6. It shouldn't be 'free' either. If it was to be added, there would definitely have to have a downside. May it be spending an age mass producing a chemistry drink, not being able to wear decent armour, or even having it limited to developed areas (paths and such). I simply feel there isn't enough ways to boost your walkspeed just that little bit, so you can catch the running cowards during your raids without use of ranged weapons (which are actually rather bad at attacking people running away, as they have long reload and the runners will avoid your bolts by jumping).
