Weapons & Equip Mobility based endgame armor

Something I like about Terraria is its many armor sets.
Many are based on damage, but a select few are based on other aspects, like regeneration or speed.
Unfortunately, there are no such armors like that in endgame (besides Valhalla giving frankly absurd regen).
Here's an idea for an endgame mobility armor:

Space Explorer Armor

Space Explorer Hood:
Crafted with a Crystal Assassin Hood and 50 Martian Conduit Plating at a Hardmode anvil.
Defense: 16
+10% crit chance
+4% damage to all classes.
+15% mana reduction.
+20% movement speed.
Grants underwater breathing.
Looks like an astronaut's helmet.

Space Explorer Suit
Crafted with Crystal Assassin Shirt and 50 Martain Conduit Plating at a hardmode anvil.
Defense: 20
+12% crit chance
+7% damage to all classes.
+15% ammo conservation chance.
+1 minion slot.
+30% movement speed.

Space Explorer Pants
Crafted with Crystal Assassin Pants and 50 Martian Conduit Plating.
Defense: 14
+8% crit chance
+5% damage to all classes.
+10% melee speed.
+1 minion slot.
+30% increased movement speed.
slightly increased turnaround speed and decreased momentum when slowing down (lets you get to a stop faster).

Set bonus: Dramatically increased turnaround speed, and you have almost 0 momentum.
Increased wing flight time by 75%, and grants a dash slightly better than the Tabi.
Space's low gravity doesn't affect you.

Why is it a hood and not a helmet?

Granting QoL on armor sets like these feels less of a bonus and more of an annoyance after switching off. If it is designed around a QoL (mining armor, angler armor, heck even all the speed here could count) then it's fine, but those armors must be worth using. Just use a gills potion and add some other way to negate space like another potion or accessory that can be tinkered into an existing QoL accessory so you'll have space for it (hehe...)

I don't see why the Crystal Assassin set is here. This armor doesn't share any physical aesthetics with it and the concept of "movement speed armor" isn't specific enough to need to be upgraded from an earlier set to reduce redundancy. Heck, Crys. doesn't even give any real movement speed buffs; this armor is much more akin to Shadow armor imo. The dash could be kept just fine (maybe with i-frames or something though) without needing to be a direct upgrade-- I imagine it as firing jet boosters on the back of the armor instead of being granted the skills and equipment of an assassin-- or it could be removed since the main benefit of a dash is to quickly change directions, something this set doesn't really struggle with. Just make it require a bunch of Martian Conduit Platings and nothing else.

Overall I really like the idea, I'm just nitpicky
