IMO, it isn't a jet pack. It is an undewater propulsion pack. And... more importantly... indicative of where we might be going at the end of the year! And no, Jetpacks and Underwater propulsion packs are not the same thing. It is not a bug.

You are complaining because your scuba gear doesn't work as a Jet Pack. Lol!

I agreed for the longest time, but then I noticed something...
Namely this and this.

So I am now completely recinding my previous statements and admitting that I am probably wrong in this.
This should most likely be a working in-game jetpack since it has been used as one on earlier models.

However... what is the point of having a jet pack on the back of the chest piece if the rocket boost comes out of the feet of the character instead?! If there is a booster pack on the back, why not have the rocket boost come from there? I'm not sure if this was intentional, or yet another bug.
Remember the BH set that you can now buy with Completed Bounty Contracts instead of credits? It was the same issue, I remember threads about how it was disappointing that the backpack actually didn't act as a jetpack but they never cared about it.

My BH is still wearing an Arkanian chestplate with that ugly antenna on my shoulder to have a working jetpack... This is just sad when you consider that jetpacks are one of the BH's coolest features in Star Wars from the movies to... The Old Republic (remember the Deceived cinematic trailer?) yet it is a pain to have a decent chestplate with one.

So you think it's more logical to shoot out your scuba feet?

I'm happy to here it. That's one of the reasons I was trying to point out from the get-go.

I love the way these sets look, and being that they are from the CM and new... I'd hope the Devs address it.

Ugh, I know what you mean!

It's been three weeks. Has anyone who submitted a ticket heard anything yet? I'd really like for a single dev to at least comment on this.

It's been more than a month. There have been multiple threads and multiple bug reports. There has not been one single dev response. This is atrocious customer support. Answer the question Bioware. I'm bumping every one of these threads until we get an answer.
