Which do you prefer for end game, and, preferably, why?
I'm personally torn. Way I see it there's three main choices for infinite flight options.
Black Spot
+ Great max speed with a charge.
+ Direction key based aerial control.
+ Frees up all mobility accessories for murder.
+ Pretty easy to get with a non-master character if you're willing to start a master map for it. (a pre-mech boss character with a dart rifle can handle the entire invasion and multiple dutchmen without too much difficulty)
- Clunky acceleration and slow turning = Not great at dodging unless you're always running from the boss.
- Can't dash while mounted.
- Too far for easy mining or dodging.
Witch's Broomstick
+ Decent acceleration.
+ Direction key based aerial control.
+ No accessory infinite flight time.
+ Normal size means never needing to dismount.
+ Frees up all mobility accessories for murder.
- No charge attack.
- Lowest max speed of the three.
- Still can't dash while mounted.
Celestial Starboard + Soaring Insignia
+ Can dash.
+ Great acceleration and max speed.
+ Normal size for moving around.
- Needs two accessory slots.
- More awkward jump+directional arrow movement.
- Can't just sit in mid air hands free.
So which do you prefer? Which is optimal? Is there a better option out there I'm missing? Is there a Soaring Insignia of Cthulhu that lets you dash in any cardinal direction on a mount? Is Soaring Insignia just a trap not worth the slot?
