I'll go ahead and shoot that one down... There are none. Devs can spawn em there, and have in the past. Rumors happen when someone sees a dev in a jetpack,  which I maintain is a little irresponsible for a dev to be doing.

I heard this from a Dev on either the tester forums or tester IRC channel

At this point the devs step in, spawning large unmannable atat's on everyone even thinking about saying a word with the letter k. Teamkill is turned on and mines set to search and destroy, with all members of the dev team laying said mines within a 200 ft radius of a certain area.

I hear rumours, Angel, that there are Jetpacks in Mos Espa.  I heard it a while back on the forums or IRC that there were, in 1.3, Jetpacks in Bestine and Espa.

Anyway, BR files are up, first post is updated, here's a link directly -> CLICKY!

I'll vote to keep the kit IF...we make it so it flys slower, AND we can lock rockets on to it. hey, its got a heat source so why not.

I'd vote to have rockets lock onto everything... Aircraft, tanks, jetpacks, speederbikes, Twigs..
It's frustrating when they hit an airspeeder/tie and there's a big explosion and nothing happens. At least there's no speed bug on the tanks , if you see a hit you get a hit.

I'd be reluctant to se them gone entirely because they're lots of fun, so maybe Nerfing them with Twigs suggestions is the answer.
But short term, removing them from Bestine isn't a terrible idea. As long as you put it into Mos Espa

Well Bestine 64 is in for a revamp in the hopefully near future so I will get that jetpack out of there so we don't have this problem. Though I didn't think our playerbase would be so juvenile about it in the first place.

Well Ty, I'm afraid you may not be familiar with some of our newer and more regular players. Once you get a chance to join us again in game as it were, we shall have to ask the server admin to load up 64 player Bestine so you can see what happens. Obviously, do it during a CG when there are lots of those players on. Tis fun to see imps killing each other over a kit, or rebels running to grab the kit after they've shot it down. Then arguing that so and so shouldnt have grabbed that kit cause he didnt actually kill the guy that had it.

Meanwhile, the rebels have reached the imperial clifftop, unnoticed by the defending force as they spam the game chat asking the devs to spawn more kits for them to play with.

I love that kit. Cynical? me? no..

I'm looking forward to playing some FS. I havent played in ages

until today it hadn't dawned on me that Kampher and Kampfenu were different blokes
