Perhaps something more could be added to Jump level 5.. When you jump as high as you can, you start to fall down, am I right? Well you could probably script another feature in that makes you, if you tap the jump key again, go up moar? I'm not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, or enough, and I apologise as such.. I think i've seen this done before, but I can't remember where..

It was probably lugormod,at level five jump you tap it again while in the air and you can keep getting higher,I support this.

Personally, I don't really like this idea. I think something similar was suggested before. I think we're already pushing realism with level 5 jump as it is so i'd have to say 'pass'. But that's just me lol

If you've noticed, sometimes the AI in the bot room uses this ability - they're in the air, get pushed backwards by a Force Push and then they sort of bounce off the air as though uninterrupted. And, yes, I think most of us have seen the boost you can get while in the air (and Iverian suggested as much before), but again, don't think it's worth doing - it'd require telekinetic control above and beyond standard mastery of telekinesis. You're talking maybe one or two people mastering the technique to that level. Makes it a little pointless.
And, for those of you with the ability, there's always the Speed/Jump combination, if you're looking for higher/longer jumps. As it is, I wouldn't advocate anything being added to Jump other than perhaps the Slow Fall thing that's been thrown around lately.

Fair enough. Just a thought really. I was fairly sure its been talked about before, but I couldn't find the thread for it, so.. yeah..

Lets Double Jump!
I personally never agreed with Force Flying.

rpmod is about realism. and, well, I frankly don't see how this can be realistic.
Besides, are there really any shelves that high that you can't reach that can of beets with just jump lvl 5?

It's been suggested at least twice before, and I just don't think it's realistic.
Know that with a combination of hold+grip you *can* do double jumps. I can currently do quadruple jumps, in fact

It's called /npc spawn toss_crate03

Its funny Master Alkorda mentions this. Just this morning I have picked up the hobby of spawning a kyle and using it to jump up to really high places around the temple.

Slow Fall is a must be ......
I think supporting this could bring less people going to the medic droid.
One example : Master Loist

For anyone who worked out how to use Emperor Palpatine's "Force Flight" in Star Wars Battlefront II, it exists. For anyone who's played anything remotely involving the Secret Apprentice of The Force Unleashed, it exists. For anyone who's watched the Cartoon Network (Not the new 3D series) 2D Clone Wars series, it exists. Who could forget the infamous Dark Jedi Maw of Dark Forces II back in '97. If all else fails:

I don't think there is any question about whether this is canon or not. Im sure this could be implemented and I don't think it'd be unrealistic for Jedi of our era to master force flight or gain high proficiency in levitation.
Point is; this would be a jump 5 feature, or a entirely new force skill. And everyone would have it. Many Knights and masters are maxing out on their templates, filling up powers they dont really favour. And I can guarantee a power such as force flight would be very popular. I know I'd get it for sure. And that would ultimately result in senior Padawans++ hovering about as they were superman. Levitation/force flight is a power that demands alot of focus and power. In terms of realism only a very few Jedi would bother in investing time and effort in learning it, and fewer still would truly master it.
Jump in my opnion is a power that needs little tweaking, as suggested many times adding a 'slow' feature for descent would be nice for higher levels of jump but otherwise jump is fairly balanced.
My take, anyways.

Force Flight = Major abuse.
Force jump and Force speed are abused enough allready. To throw flight in aswell would be chaos.

Completely spot on.
