JET PACK SPEED

[Hawk 754]

I am glad that they made the jetpack faster, but a little to fast and to wasy to drift and loose control. I view the jetpack that it should be the most stable thing in the game. It is your movement, and you should always be able to have full control and little or no drift with it. I think that there should be an update that makes less dirft for the jstpack when you reach higher sppeds, or at the very least a setting or control for jetpack speeds. I mean for Christs sake you can go faster than some spacecraft

I liked the old jetpack :( I can't build ships for ♥♥♥♥ with the new one

I have to agree that the new jet pack speed is a little fast when performing tricky maneuvers. My suggestion would for the jetpack to have two modes, or gears if you will. A low gear for when your jetpacking around tight spots, building small crafts ect, and a high gear for when you just want to get from point A to point B. I feal like the current speed would do ok for the high gear, with the origonal speed being the low gear.

Just a thought :-)

I get along with the new jetpack. I only use very short bursts if I have to move somewhere narrow.

jea like run with shift or better breaking, werry hard to manuver inside asteroid
speed is good now im end of my ship in notime

[ooowwwooo]

I have an idea... you should be able to set the jetpack's max speed. And set it to default, aka what it was before.

they just need to have 2 speeds.

It is much more realistic now. You just have to use short bursts and let the inertial dampeners slow you down.

It's still more annoying than its worth, for instance I was on a station and fell off, I didn't really react to it for like 5-7 seconds, and before I knew it I was so far away it took me like 4 minutes to fly back, at the very least, they should make it so you have 2 modes, the jetpack before, and the new one. So people can choose what they like better.

Yea i think your right, there should be settings or gears for the jetpack making it slower or faster. If any of you have a way to convey this to a developer i would strongly suggest you do. Its better off to have more options on speed and control with the jetpack rather than less, because the jetpack is the reason for your entire movement in space.
I would really like to see more control with the jetpack so please try to contact a developer and convey your opinion.

mmmm, I love the new jetpack. Accelration could be lower to keep small ships "better" than a jetpack. Flying without dampeners is fun, well for me it is.
