Apologies if they're already in there; I'm somewhat new to the game and the highest level of tech I have currently is 'Jump Booster', or similar. Jetpacks, if they aren't in there already, would be amazing - the game is crying out for some Sparkster (Megadrive / Rocket Knight Adventures) style shenanigans! Anyway, amazing game. I doff my cap to the devs
We don't have Jetpacks, but we do have something called "Boost"-Tech, (Two varieties) which basically allow you to fly in all 4 directions. So works just like a jetpack would. Jetpacks, I feel, could still have a place in this game. Especially when dealing with Asteroid fields, as I often feel the boosters are rather vile, a Jetpack (Or at least a weaker type of boost-tech) could be slower and more gentle, especially if super-low gravity, as I suggested, gets implemented for asteroid fields.
They'd need to be super-expensive, purely so that people didn't just skip the tech system of boosts. If they were in, like, tier 8 or something then sure
Jetpack Tech? It should act like the gravity neutraliser (ie you hovering in one spot) but you can move around up, down ect by pressing the keys.
Well this would just give people a default boost tech of sorts. But it is WAY weaker than any of the real ones. As stated, it would be much more Gentle than the others. Of course in reality, it in no way Needs to be a tech, or a Jetpack for that matter.
