The strain of 'lugging' it around is certainly unfair to the Bounty Hunter class. This is simply unacceptable. You have shown me the light. Thank you.

It looks clunky and they're always having to wear it. If it's not going to be functional, why even have it on the model? Visual style =\= physical strain

Obviously people don't pay attention or actually ready posts... I have said this in another thread and I will echo it here. Force users = Force jump USABLE OUT OF COMBAT BH/Mando = Jump Packs/boots USABLE OUT OF COMBAT Agent/Smug = Grappling hook USABLE OUT OF COMBAT (as seen in Episode 1-2) Decent distance (at least one level of a building) reasonable cool down/overheat/exhaustion timer/bar. Would make getting to some datacrons and other areas of the maps interesting. Give reason to extremely high ceilings in many interiors. Some cases faster then running up ramps/steps/elevators. These all see feasible/logical to me.

I won't name the devs or the game cause then it'd turn into a vs thread, but I pretty sure they'd do it with the BH if they did SWTOR lol. This idea is good and isn't OP as long as other classes get something to counter this or similar ability, but that's if it were skilled based.

Powertechs use three abilities that need the jetpack, which is plenty. And if I have a Merc, I'd probably look for armor without a jetpack anyway. I'd want to look more like this... http://www.deviantart.com/download/1...Taclobanon.jpg

I remember Boba and Jengo both experiencing critical failures with their Jetpacks causing their death. Would you like that?

Almost the first thing i thought when playing my BH, was that it would be so cool if you could do a double jump. Normal jump and then "rocket jump". Or hover a while in the air. Even if it would serve no purpose, like give you an advantage in pvp/pve. It would still be really cool.

The Wild West look is more appropriate for hunters anwyay. I just don't understand the design decision behind giving this look to the smugglers when it could have given another distinct look to hunters other than, "Hey! I'm a Mandalorian!"

Love all the people who act surprised that others don't think it's a good idea to give one class out of eight a huge advantage by being able to freely fly around. Do they not think before they post?

Shoulder slam uses the jetpack to propel your heavily armored shoulder into a mob. Flame sweep uses the jetpack to spin you quickly while flame shoots out of your wrist. Jet boost uses the jetpack to knock away nearby enemies. Death from above uses to the jetpack to give you height to rain rockets and blaster fire on a wide area. Rocket punch uses the jetpack to propel you fist first into someones chin. Jet charge uses the jetpack to jump you to an enemy. That plenty.
