[Suggestion] Double Jump Jets

    I know that the Light Assault Update is a long way off (which is unfortunate since it is the class that is in most need of an update), but I thought of a neat idea for a new jump jet certification.

    Double Jump Jets:
    Allows you to jump slightly higher then your normal jump, but then allows you to jump again while in the air
    Each Rank increases the height of your jump
    The First Rank would allow you to reach the top of smaller buildings
    The Last rank would double the height achieved by the first rank, meaning it would only require one jump to reach the tops of small building.
    Recharges in 1 second at the Last Rank

    Advantages:
    -Allows you to reach areas faster then conventional jump jets
    -Allows for quick evasion of dangerous areas

    Disadvantages:
    -Fall damage would still be a factor, so precaution would have to be used, ensuring that you have one jump left if you are falling from too high up an area
    -Less direct control of fuel and direction
    -No ability to hover

    These Jump jets are meant to be a more balanced form of the old Icarus jump jets. They could also have a potentially higher skill cap then other jump jets.

    If they can solve the hitbox dislocation issues of the old Icarus Jumpjets, why not just bring those back instead (or, at least, first)?
