When you fall like 5 feet you still take damage. There should be a higher minimum fall length before you take damage, or better yet a safe roll to reduce damage after an average fall length (pressing x right before you hit the ground).

Mmm... I'll have to disagree, yes you take fall damage from small falls but thats hardly a dent in your shield which will regenerate rapidly. A moderate fall will deplete your shield and damage your armour a bit and an even larger fall you'll be granted use of the inertia dampener. I have yet to fall to my death and have only seen people fall to their deaths when A) they jump out of MCC's and don't activate inertia dampeners or B) Are reduced to jack all Armour(<5%) by a gunfight and try jump off a ledge

Hmmm, perhaps you should try playing a sniper for a while and see just how much damage a small drop can and does do. In certain areas you can fall as OP 5 feet and loose a percentage of shield. Other places you can fall a few inches and loose a life :(

H.D

I agree. I once fell and died from a rather short height. I mean, we have inertia dampeners, but you can't activate those unless you spend a considerable amount of time falling. I think we should only take fall damage when we fall long enough to activate our inertia dampeners but don't, and/or take less fall damage in general. I mean, we can survive quite a bit in our dropsuits, I think a fall should be on that list.
