Currently speed is useless, compared to Vicodin: it provides inferior stats, has a more punishing overdose, provides less happy, and costs more than 50x Vicodin does.
Speed(reworked) is a drug that doubles base energy regeneration for 6-8 hours (the same cooldown as Xanax).
One side effect of Speed(reworked) is that it reduces gym gains by 80% making training impractical.
Stats
I'm primarily proposing this as an SSL friendly way to be more competitive in events such as elimination, Halloween, wars, and longer chains. SSL users using 3 LSD daily( + refill + natural regen) only get a maximum of around 40 attacks daily compared to a 64 via 3 Xanax( + refill + natural regen). This proposal would change that to around 60 daily for SSL, still worse than Xanax but much more competitive.
Why the gym gain reduction?
This is for balancing reasons, it's cheaper than Xanax, and it prevents SSL users from using Speed(reworked) to train in the gym(LSD would still be SSL meta). Thus Speed(reworked) wouldn't change SSL's gym gains at all.
Aside from SSL, where could Speed(reworked) be used?
Speed(reworked) could be a cheap alternate to Xanax for selling loses, revives, escapes, npc attacks, missions, leveling, and dump searching? Most likely it would be useful for new players building networth.
In short:
Speed(reworked) is a drug that doubles base energy regeneration for 6-8 hours (the same cooldown as Xanax).
One side effect of Speed(reworked) is that it reduces gym gains by 80% making training impractical.

In short:
- Speed(reworked) provides double energy regeneration for non-gym purposes
- Speed(reworked) can't be stacked
- SSL will still be bad
- Speed(reworked) promotes activity by requiring the player to use energy every 2.5hrs
- Speed(reworked) is good for newer players
- Speed(reworked) encourages players to buy donator packs to get the most out of it
