Description:
A generalized Jetpack for the use of Civilians, Bounty hunters, and possible contracts with factions. Due to it's size on a person's body and the extra weight on their back, the individual will either need training to use it properly, or have prior knowledge to use such a device. Made out of Durasteel to prevent from people shooting you down, it has slight blaster and slugthrower resistances to it. (anything larger than a blaster rifle with punch through.) As well, with this equipped, nothing else can be stored on the back as the heat from the thrusters can burn objects. as well, you don't want your feet to get in the way. It has an overall jetpack use of about 15 hours of flight with sustained activity. And will have about 25 hours if used in space. Because of the less resistances in space, or the void, speeds can reach up to double of that on a standard gravity planet.

The use of repulsorlifts is when in space. Sometimes when fuel runs out, or the thrusters malfunction, you can still use the jetpack to some degree in space. However, the fastest allowed will be around 50 kmph. The repulsarlifts can not be used in gravity as they are smaller than those placed on a speeder, as well considering the size of the jetpack to the person using it, the weight is too great for someone over 45kgs to use when in gravity.

Uhm, not sure if I'm correct on my thoughts on this or not, but shouldn't this be in the technology factory, rather than posted as a vehicle..?

[member="Darth Sinna"], Because this is considered a form of transportation, I put it in here. As well, the needed areas to be filled are in this section. Not in the Technology section. There are no Speed or vehicle like needed items in the Tech.

I understand, it's just a sort of awkward situation to be put in for scenarios like this. (A jetpack is considered equipment, as far as I am aware, and having it mashed together with a vehicle section makes it seem kind of strange, but that could just be me.)

Regardless, I don't see any real big issues with this (though I did have to think about the speed for a little bit).
Pending secondary.

[member="Darth Sinna"] is correct. This is equipment and will be moved there. The submitter can always add a speed field to the existing tech template if required.

Approved.
