It would be cool if Light Assault could fly around in a jetpack.

I vote yes. I want free kills on these guys.

I think like how the cloaker could chose what type of cloak he wants, ther will probibly be some type of certing for what type of jetpack you want, if there is something from a hover type jet pack or a jump pack.

One thing with the hover jetpack, I can see the person become nothing more than a mid air target.

Pretty much this.

short answer: hell NAWW!!

Everything that can fly should be vulnerable to flak
So flak would explode in contact with jetpacks

[Sledgecrushr]

I see where you are going, the LA is kind of blah compared to the rest of the classes. It really needs a second hook.

[Vinven]

Thats because typically if you were going light assault in-game in PS1, you were complimenting it with medic, engineering, or whatnot. They have to throw in a jetpack for them, when in all honesty our vanu max's should have it.

I think I played Tribes for like 6 hours when it first came out, and never came back. You just reminded me of that lame emote, I totally forgot that.

Tribes Ascend is quite much fun. I guess because they enabled n00b friendly "skiing" which was before only for the demi-gods.

It's kept me entertained for 3-4 months now but public grinding is wearing off a bit. Cannae wait fer PS2 like!

Based on the superman part, I think that Goldeh was talking about flying more like in Dark Void than in Tribes.

There are already sidegrades planned for the jetpack, like longer glide times at the expense of vertical lift. I'm not sure what a good tradeoff would be for extending flying and maneuvering, and it would require a whole new set of animations and flight dynamics, so while it sounds fun in some ways, I don't think this idea is realistic.

I'm not too worried about LA being fun or effective though. Even with what little we've seen of them so far, they already look to be one of the most dangerous straight up combat classes in skilled hands.

I loved Tribes, and it was a great game...

Jetpacks too much like in Tribes, however, would just be stupid in Planetside2. Tribes had the advantage of skiing and speed, without that flying just makes you a very obvious target and Reaver-roadkill.

On a related note...

Good for high altitude galaxy drops.

NO,that is'nt planetside and it would just be very annoying.
