Re-balanced and Expanded Jump Jets

Major update (Jan. 7th, 2023)!!

Notable updates are:

- Increased thrust durations for all Jump Jets except for standard Jump Jets

- Increased vertical thrust for all Jump Jets, with a reduced initial jump (so as to put more emphasis on – and to allow for greater – vertical thrust. (Helps to better soften landings and allows for greater versatility/capability.))

- The creation (and inclusion) of newly-created Jump Jet thruster VFX! (See below section on visuals for complete details)

This has been on my mind for a while, so I am glad to finally share it!

Please enjoy!

This mod introduces five new types of Jump Jets (JJs): Boost Jets, Loft Jets, Hover Jets, Light Hover Jets, and Short-hop Loft Jets.

Boost Jets allow for a quick burst of extreme, horizontal speed; Loft Jets allow for a longer, more diagonally-powered jump; and Hover Jets allow for highly-sustained, vertical-only acceleration. Light Hover Jets are lighter-weight, lesser-capacity/-demanding (requiring only one slot to use), lesser-capable versions of the standard Hover Jet; and Short-hop Loft Jets are similarly lesser-capable than standard Loft Jets, except their purpose is to be a faster, shorter, more horizontally-biased diagonal jump with a faster recharge time.

Boost Jets are best for avoiding damage and closing distance quickly; Loft Jets can be used for leaping over wild terrain and repositioning with moderate speed; Hover Jets are best for firing down upon enemies over difficult terrain and for enhanced death-from-above (DFA) tactics; and Short-hop Loft Jets are best for more-deliberate repositioning than Boost Jets, and quick leaps over shallower terrain than what is best fit for standard Loft Jets.

Jump Jet Classes and Data:

There are two classes of JJs in this mod: high-powered and low-powered. High-powered JJs require two adjacent JJ slots to use, while low-powered versions require only one.

High-powered JJs include: Boost Jets, Hover Jets, and Loft Jets. Low-powered JJs include: (standard) Jump Jets, Light Hover Jets, and Short-hop Loft Jets.

More-comprehensive descriptions are included in the game’s tooltip (hovering one’s mouse over the given item) for each type of Jump Jet.

Visual Enhancements:

Lastly, this mod includes enhanced visuals for Jump Jets. Enhancements include: Jump Jet jets that react to movement/’Mech velocity; heat distortion from the heat of the jets; improved and more-vivid thruster lightin
