By contrast, your acceleration from jetpacking is massive if you're beginning from a dead stop. _________________ Did you know you can disable annoying signatures?

How stupid is this? Have you got proof of this? the force seems fairly linear if you jet on the ground It gets 90% weaker. If you jet upward, you'll notice your acceleration is about 10km/h/s until 72km/h. Then it drops to 1km/h/s or so. The 72km/h thing applies in any direction though. So if you're going more than 72km/h across flat ground, your upward jet force is cut by 90%. If you fall faster than 72km/h, you actually can not slow your fall. _________________ - Fix Jetpack Physics (video) (video) - Remove regen, bring back health kits - Buff explosive jumping - 100% inheritance for "bullet" weapons (nova blaster included)
