Post subject:  Possible Jetpack idea

I know the Jetpack's been created multiple times...

But I want to see how well RS makes this.
Got the main idea from the Tribes games and that got me thinking.
"The other jetpacks don't work well but knowing Runestorm, they make things perfectly."
So I decided to bring the idea up.

Here's how I see it...

Players don't spawn with the Jetpack equipped... they gotta FIND it. Once they locate it and pick it up, it's attached to their player model. (Which may be difficult because some models use CUSTOM meshes/animations... Example: I always use the WS-1T model and the Backpack weapons dont appear well. The character's already got a 'backpack.')
I'm just tossing an idea out. *shrug* Your call to take it.

The main thing that made tribes jetpacks work the way they did was a 'slide' mechanic.When hitting a surface,rather than sticking to it they slowly lose momentum,this allowed skiing via jumping off these surfaces to maintain and build momentum.
