Youd just daingling off the thing if your not holding something. The good thing is that like other speeders...you can emote actions like flexing ect.

Anyone else smell a tall tale??? ;)

I am not about to spend 50 mill on a jetpack. With that money I would rather save it up for a mando helm. I know they are almost impossibale rare but I would still save it for that.

Nah, It would not blend in right, besides Jaminos has alot of Ubese in his blood so he likes wearing it better. Also Fett would just take it from me and shoot me.

Its not possianble for Jaminos to have ANY ubese in his blood. Read the following:

Ages ago the Ubese developed a lust for the new technology brought to them by off-world traders. Over a short time they embraced the technology, advanced it further, and colonized other planets in their local system.
But colonizing their own system wasn't enough. The Ubese developed and produced vast amounts of weapons of mass destruction to conquer surrounding systems. Many of these weapons had been banned eons ago by the Old Republic. At this point the sector observers of the Old Republic felt they should step in with a pre-emptive strike to punish the Ubese and put them in their places.
Unfortunately, the orbital strikes accidently led to the detonation of most of the Ubese weapons stockpiles causing devastation on Uba I, II, and V. Uba III was completely ruptured. Only the homeworld of Uba IV had any survivors (it was labeled Uba IV because of its order in the planets from the local system's sun). A few survivors were transplanted to the new colony of Ubertica. The ravaged nomad survivors of Uba IV branded these transplanted Ubese as yrack pootzck ("impure cowards" in Ubese).

Like most descendants of the survivors of Uba IV Boushh suffered from stunted growth, respiratory problems, poor eyesight, and the requirement of an amplifier to speak. Boushh's battle helmet was equipped with a built-in breath filter and voice enhancer to amplify Boushh's harsh whisper.
The language is difficult to master for non-Ubese. The Ubese spoke only as much as they had to, and it's thought that speech was painful for them. Boushh, like others from Uba IV, spoke in short abrupt sentences, using repetition and emphasis to change the meaning of words from their limited vocabulary. A word said twice could mean something completely different from the same word spoken once.
It is assumed that Boushh was dying of some sort of cancer, a by-product of the harsh environment on Uba IV. Cancers and various forms of cell mutations led to shortened life spans and was the eventual killer of most inhabitants of Uba IV.

Boushh was the LAST of the Ubese, and he was killed by Black Sun and Princess Leia bought his armor to get into Jabba's palace. So...a little factoid on the Ubese for ya.

I do not follow up much on this stuff. I have only read Bounty hunter wars, Courtship of liea and Shadows of the empire. In Shadows of the empire it made it sound like they were still alive. It is even more impossable now for any of the Mandolrians to live. The only person close enough if Fett and he is not even a mandolorian he just got the armor from his fauther. Malachor Five the last known mandelorian planet was blown up 2000 years before Sw 1-6 so in some respects they should not exist now but because many mandolirans were still alive they brought the tradition long enough till the Jedi killed the last of them shortly before the clone wars.

Congrats on your backpackability, Air Talon. It has a good dose of RP slickness to it.

1.) What are your combat options when in-flight? Is it just basic attacks or are specials possible?

2.) I've been told that the jetpack flight ceiling is low enough to allow melee when "overhead". True or false?

3.) Stay tuned for Part #7 for the jetpack, the "Anti-Metal Pole Wielded By a Blind Man" Throttle Guard. Then again, that deficiency won't be discovered for another 1-2 years in game time so you've got some cushion time there.

Zanjet probably has the schems for it...available on Lay-Away. :lol:

Seriously, though congrats. Now you can drop water ballons on Sepiv's wookiee buddy Dewbacca then blow out his fur dry with the jet exhaust. He'll be all poofy like Captain Caveman.

Not sure about the combat in it...and since I dont plan on doing any combat in it then I'll never know. I dont wanna have 50 mil blown to hell.
