Dark troopers used Jump packs, not jet packs.  This is all wrong, .

really ? in jediacademy the look to me like real jetpacks!

I've already learned that alot of people who know its location will sit and camp the spawn point.

The game we had in Bestine a few days ago, there were about 3 people each going up there all the time, and 1 person just sitting at the point and not doing ANYTHING at all, until he got his jetpack.

Those people are idiots, but it does illustrate how much people love the kit.
People loving things is a poor reason to remove them.

If you want to 'force' team work as seems to be the FS ethos , perhaps it could be keyed to spawn only at the 'hot' imperial CP- ie the ones the rebs can currently attack (at any one time). Then you'd have the guys playing as normal, defending their cps and the amadáns milling around the same cps providing meatshields at the least.

It might also provide the attacking rebs a chance to get the kit if they are fast (though they can't pick it up now unless they loot a corpse)

I allready brought up a thread about dark troopers and they are apparently impossible to make in the 2142 engine.

I was joking, I remember the darktrooper thread well, it got quite heated i seem to remember

...but what's this?  Is the Woody giving us hope?! 8D

Man that would be cool, a squad of troopers jetpacking to the ground from a shuttle.  It might finally even make the shuttle useful!

Perhaps a map with Darktroopers with jetpacks vs Bounty Hunters with jetpacks! Drooool!

Such a map would have to be indoors though, in order to prevent people from flying off to who-knows-where. Maybe a large interior space. Like a Warehouse or something.
