 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 [[Super Items#Speed Demon Overdrive Device|tracking device super items]] that further increase damage output and energy sustain. This stacks with temporary bonuses like +% Damage, 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.
+SDs have very high burst damage potential, with their powerful [[Speed Demon#Special Abilities|Overdrive and Target Tracker Super Items]] that further increase damage output and energy sustain. This stacks with temporary bonuses like +% Damage, 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.
 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.

 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.

-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.
