Since we're gonna do special fitting bonuses on frames I think it's time we add the jetpack for medium frames. If scouts can use cloaks to get around unseen I think we should have jetpacks for the assaults to get to strategic positions on the map. I know the idea sounds dreadful and there's a lot of balancing issues that could come up, but it would help assaults really assault an area by removing equipment and threats on higher ground. The assault suits would keep one equipment slot too so they would be vulnerable and unable to carry their own uplinks.
The jetpack should add weight to anyone equipped with one, even if it isn't in use like an armor plate, so scouts would be hurting their speed with it. I feel like using light weapons from a jetpack might cause problems with the mass drivers, plasma, and swarm launchers so it would probably be best to limit it to sidearms only until you land. You should also be able to destroy a jetpack on a player if you shoot it enough causing it to explode along with making the player free fall with no chance to inertia dampen.
I also think there should be passive modules that help with jetpack performance and this could lead to a new set of modules that buff the other equipment so you can really make a true logi class.

Maybe not jetpacks but maybe a jump booster

Yes, I support this!!!
It would make Assault ======= Light assaults of Planetside 2.
Imagine how good the jetpack would be for actually assaulting from above with mass drivers, rifles, sniper rifles, plasma cannons.
Jetpacks are really the missing piece of the assault puzzle.
Drop it like its hat.

first impression = Planetside 2.
would certainly add an aspect of skill to the game .. but the game is too buggy to support this kind of product at the moment :P
Just read the damn thread

I think thats a job for scouts and not assaults. Scouts are the infiltrators and assassins of this game. I believe you found the second equipment for the scouts, but give them a CPU/PG coast similar to the cloak so they can't use both on 1 fitting. |

maps would need to be remade with more vertical play in mind, as long as that happens i wouldn't mind tbh

Yep. I want this. Assault's get fitting requirement discount for jump packs. Goes into equipment slot (and we should get TWO of those). Dropship no longer required to get rid of those troublesome roof top campers.

I have always and will always oppose jump packs/jet packs. It is a stupid idea that will lead to fewer tactical movement and more camping. I really don't think it would be a positive move for the game to include equipment like this.

No. We need to make roof tops and ledges like fracture road/domination inaccessible so people don't camp. Jetpacks would be awful

This is crazy enough that it just might work. Jetpacks would be awesome.
Although, I can see it being a little OP considering how advantageous high ground is in this game. Assaults could just fly up on tall buildings all day and completely avoid heavies/shotgun scouts.

That camping spot on fracture point does need to be tweaked, but with jetpacks the spot would be easier to counter without the use of vehicles.

That'd be fun, but I would propose to enable the "Pilot" light suit and give it a fitting bonus to jetpacks. |
