They keep saying that they start with TableTop values and slightly "tune" it from there. In TT, one JJ gives you a 30m jump radius. My Catapult has four, which should give me a 120m jump length, and a four level - 40m - jump height. That kind of thrust would let me jump up, and brake my own descent. Worried about pop tarts? Watch as people build specialized anti-poptart mechs that are made specifically for taking them down. I mean, seriously. Now that some Clan mechs are out, load a Black Hawk with ER Large Lasers and Jump Jets, and watch as he/she starts headshotting poptarting mechs. Things will balance themselves out, without having to nerf things until they aren't used, or buff things into one hit wonders.
