Yes, jetpacks should be in the game. Only Scouts should be able to equip them.
The trade off would be the fact that you are a Scout in the air for everyone to see. Essentially a squishy pinata, except everyone has a stick and no blindfold. |

Should there? Not really but it would be nice
I always liked play the starwars battlefront games and having the clone troopers with jet packs so i would be interested if Dust was able to get a balanced jet pack type item.
yeah that game was cool. |

of course only if ad a counter module like a Gravity / EMP grenade or a repulsor beam that throws your opponent away,
that disable the jetpack |

High slot and low slot jetpacks. Scouts get 50% pg/cpu bonuses on jetpack modules. Jetpacks don't act like other modules. They actually take up all of the high slots on high slot jetpacks and all the low slots on low slot jetpacks. Requires at least two slots. Prevents taking an equipment slot(? maybe, who knows if it would be OP we all have cheap-ass vipers and gorgons already, right?) |

I might be in the minority, but I think that it could actually work pretty well if implemented correctly. I would have an entirely new suit, and the jet pack would act only for short bursts. You'd only be able to get up about 5 to 10 meters with the jet pack.
I would give them 2 equipment slots, a sidearm weapon slot, and very little shields and armor. That way they'd be extremely vulnerable, and would almost act as ultra mobile logistics players. |

It should have a 5 second flight time at 19m/s, be like the basic medical frame, but have no equipment, sidearm, PR grenade slot
OR
Sidearm only, grenade, and equipment a lot. No light weapon. |

edit:
NM, terrible idea. nothing to see here, move along
yea, a built-in mod for scouts only that jumps 10-15M  .
[EDIT] scouts already have soooo many downs so no need to make a down for it. |

aha this is a planetside 2 feature :P
EDIT: This wouldn't work for assaults. Maybe for medics? they would have to be grenade-less, weapon-less, and pretty damn pointless in terms of combat xD.

Yes, small jetpacks should be available for high power slots. Module should be active and provide max 3 seconds of thrust with a cool down of at least 5 secs. The module being very much similar as the inertia dampeners and using the same technology would also disable the inertia dampener for the duration of the cool down.
What then could be achieved with these modules? Well leaping over not so tall buildings and provide roof access instead of climbing the ladders etc.
And well yes, nothing would be more cool that utilize jetpack on your heavy suit and then kill people crushing them by landing on them from the heights. |
