The obvious thing in my mind would be to take them out of all ground maps, then create a space map whereby there are a number of platform space stations and an ISD as a base. Imp Troops would need to jet pack over to the platforms and try and take them, balancing the Jetpacks in a way that 90% of their use is merely transportation from platform to platform (fuel amounts , replenish times etc).

Deja vu. Didn't I have a thread about this back there somewhere? "Exiting Capital Ships" I think?

No idea. You'd know the answer to that better than I...

Now theres a situation where I would like jetpacks. Though I imagine the zero gravity on ragdolls would be weird in the 2142 engine, if possible at all. Also, skyraper, you should get that poem published. tongue
