I was waiting for the next season for more potential speed feat, but the solution I have been thinking about is:
- MFTL+ is just for long-term interstellar travel speed.
- MHS+ flight travel speed.
- Significant speed downgrade for combat speed, and a less severe downgrade for reaction speed.
Which is closer to proposal 2.
When compared to the comics, the animated adaption's combat speed feats fall short thus far, and doesn't warrant MFTL+ scaling.
For example, for the round-the-world baseball throw and catch, in the comics Nolan just says "heads up", but in the animation he warns Mark that the incoming baseball can now be heard, which means that in the animation the baseball has slowed down to subsonic speed by the time it got close to Mark.

There is Allen dodging a FTL spaceship ramming him in the comics, but in the animation the ship was flying slowly as Allen is casually playing/browsing on his phone, and the animation's ship was just far away from Allen that he didn't need to dodge anyway.
