how long has the jump jetting mech not taking appropriate damage been a problem?. well. i have been playing for over a year, so its been at least that long. i don't know if the developers don't want to, don't know how to, or just don't care, but until this is addressed, CORRECTLY, then this is just a grind (can't really call it a game, as there is no goal other than c-bill and exp accumulation, oh yea and to try to sell you more stuff to do this) of exploits. those who play the game know this, and most 12 mans exclusively run those mechs. so lets just make it simple, all mechs can equip jump jets so that we can all take advantage of the exploit.

Er... while the whole jump jetting thing might be a 'problem' (though I haven't really had a problem with it myself), giving every 'Mech jump jets is not a solution. I mean, as much as it'd be fun to strap a few jump jets onto my Atlas with duct tape, I don't think that's particularly viable. :unsure:

There's also the whole, years and years of Battletech history and frames with jump jets being a limited thing?

I don't think every chasis should have jump jets, it's just not needed and would just mean players wouldn't need to think as much.

As much as I'd love JJ on my Locusts! No.

I've never had a problem with hitting and damaging/killing jumping 'Mechs. And people certainly have no problems hitting and damaging/killing me while I'm jumping around. Might be due to my low ping (28-40 ms average, 50-80 ms during peak times) of course.

Even if it is a wide-spread problem, putting jump jets on all 'Mechs isn't the answer.
