Agreed. It's how the jetpacks are used, and with hotkeys around, they are being used way too much and way too easily.

I disagree, I saw just as many people using jetpack then as I do now. As a matter of fact it was a little bit worse then because people would glitch themselves in the air so they wouldn't get hit.

For your information, they're still glitching. From what I saw two years ago, they weren't being used as much. If you saw more use, then that depends what planet you frequented and if primarily trials or gold players were on at your time.

2004-2006 Zone was pretty much the only server I actively played. As I said before, though, jetpacks are not the problem. If members of both teams had the drive to take over bases, jetpacks will not hold them back.

Correct, they wouldn't be held back. The current problem would be that not enough people are contributing to get this movement going. The jetpacks DO affect the one scenario when only a few people are trying to take bases, rather than dozens on both teams.

I jetpack through bases like there's no tomorrow.

To fix Arctic, they must give players more exp/money. To make this actually matter, exp/money needs to be more useful.

Of course. Another thing could be to make it so someone has to stand on a base for 5 seconds or so to convert it to their own team, so people can't land on it with jets and take it really quickly.

Interesting idea, I like it. Could be modified and implimented :O.

Making it harder to take bases doesn't sound like encouragement for players to take bases... As Crono said, this has never been an issue. The current issue is that bases aren't captured, period.

We should just make base lamming against the rules.
