^"Sorry bud", but Spova is correct. Both Spova and Speedva are commonly used terms to refer to a Speed Nova build, as are Slova or Slowva for a Slow Nova build.

Second, what Mantuta meant was that you shouldn't go out of your way to get kills. The main purpose of a Spova is to expedite the farming process in missions that rely on enemy deaths to progress, such as Defense missions. Your top priority is to speed up as many enemies as possible so your teammates can take them out without needing to rush around the entire map looking for them. Hence Mantua suggesting one/two damage oriented frames and a defensive frame to keep both yourself and and some defense objective safe during said process.

As for survivals, a Spova increasing enemy speed effectively increases life support module drop rates as well, so there is no reason for you to worry about life support.

Also, I cannot imagine anyone would use a Spova on Excavation, Mobile Defense, or Interception missions without some sort of farming motive. If they're not interested in farming from enemies by killing as many as they can in a shorter amount of time then a Spova will only hurt during said missions. A Slova would be much more suited, as no matter how many enemies you kill your mission progression will always be dictated by a set time. In which case, you might as well slow enemies down to keep them off your back rather than speed them up for no reason.
