Throughout the time I've seen us advance from bases, I have not seen us use flashes very much. Let's be honest, they're fast, but prone to flipping and generally killing us(HINT: Flashes are also used by NC and VS). But the speed a flash can produce is quite great. Add this with either turbo or the wraith module, you essentially cannot be stopped. An armor column would have difficulty stopping us because of the speed we can gain. Air would have difficulty seeing us without IR/NV. Essentially, we could move faster then with a galaxy because the galaxy, while can fly and therefore pass any obstacles with ease, takes a long time to load up and get running, and because most of the time we are at the WG when loading it up, will force us to take longer then necessary to get to another base. If we use flashes, which are resource effective as well, we can get to a base fairly quickly. We can stop worrying about obstacles like rocks and hills with turbo, stay within the shadows with the wraith cloak, and still be fast. This does mean that we will have to drop max suits when using flashes, but this can be combated by hacking a weapons terminal and spawning it at the base. This would also probably only work if the base we will be attacking is close by, just because if the base is a couple hexes away, then a galaxy could probably get us there faster. Just something that we can try, which I believe could lessen the amount of time between base attacks and therefore lessen the amount of down time we currently have.
