GAH---i have to post this a second time now. -.-
Ok then, my suggestion was something like, how about a room on cap-ships like an escape pod room where there were jet suits that acted like exo-suits? You get in one, it ejects you outside the ship and you do whatever, board, fire at starships, plant charges, w/e. It could maybe have an afterburner to move at a somewhat sane speed in space.

The Jet pack arguement began as a way of how the trooper could float in space with the limits of the engine. It wasn't originally to argue for a true jet pack, though it did move in that direction, rather a jet pack like effect to keep the trooper in the air to create the illusion of floating in space. Tricking the engine and all that.

I posted that little quote above because S-guy brought up jet-troopers and I decided I might as well go along with it. I'm indifferent to jet packs in this mod either way.

The jet pack is to move around in naked space, so Space troopers could board as well as fight in space and use space as a hiding spot when out gunned on the other ship.

We're not discussing jetpacks, we're discussing space suits implemented as vehicles with various functions. You could make them 'unleavable' if that makes you happy.

You never said maybe, and this mod will not have jetpacks.

By hamsters sir, I stand solid my ground and stand up for what I wish to happen. Therefore, I say maybe.

Which variant of the spacetrooper would be best, though?

Not to mention being in a fighter and doing full-speed strafing runs on space troopers hovering by a cap ship's hull (repairing or placing explosive charges or cutting their way through an airlock to allow people to board or whatever).

It'd also be cool to just roam around space, fire at passing fighters and battleships, land on the outside of ships, etc.

I'm also pro Seatrooper, but thats another topic.

I've been advocating a space suit since before I even joined the FS community (originally I pushed for it to be included in the defunct Warp mod). Would be awesome to have - a suit, in vehicle form, that let you move from ship to ship to board them and special things like repair ships from the outside.

that would be weird to see...jet-troopers. Maybe if we end up with something boarding-related maybe boarding parties could have jetpacks. Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool.......

I wouldn't mind seeing space troopers, though I'm not sure if it would work on the engine (maybe a perpetual jet pack action or something)
