Jumpjet Updates
Jumpjets have been updated. This update addresses a number of things. First off avatar weight was impacting the potency of jumpjets. These new JJs get a reading of the avatar weight and factor it in against the database mass of the mech to calculate consistent thrust for that mech weight.
This jumpjet code has less hard-coded stuff making it far easier for us to fine-tune the behavior of this utility. We can adjust the thrust strength of any jumpjet now independently without having to change any code.
This jumpjet code also sends regular updates to the HUD fuel display while in use and when it hits zero fuel, it also fixes a bug when a jumpjet with no fuel would continue to make sound and effects, with no thrust.
This code is more specialized towards Jumpjets without having other utility code making for a leaner utility in general.
