As put in the title, I think several of the less used medium ships would benefit from a speed buff. Currently there are three medium ships that are dreadfully slow for their classification and purpose.
Asp Scout: all that maneuverability means nothing when it can’t actually use it’s turning effectively against less agile but faster ships. It should if anything be faster than the Asp Explorer to reflect that it is a stripped AspX that focuses on agility over multipurpose.
Keelback: It has two more thrusters stuck on its side yet is slower than the T-6? It should at least be as fast, which would also give it the unique role of being the fastest SLF ship compensated by the fact that it can only use the C5 hangar bay. An additional military slot would also help reflect the Keelback’s purpose as a combat T-6 variant.
Cobra IV: Here I don’t think the Cobra IV should be as fast as the III, but it should still be decently fast so that it can deal better with combat engagements and not be picked off easily.
