== Description ==
A modern refinement upon the centuries-old design of standard [[jump jet]]s, '''Improved Jump Jets''' are twice as large and as heavy as their normal counterparts, but can propel a [['Mech]] further with less heat buildup.

== History ==
Developed by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] in [[3069]], <ref name="TMp225+">''TechManual'', pp. 225-226, Improved Jump Jets</ref> thanks to their sharing of the specs with allies of the [[Arc-Royal Defense Cordon]], fighting against the [[Word of Blake|Blakists]] and the espionage efforts of their [[Clan Wolf|Crusader brethren]], they have spread throughout the [[Inner Sphere]]. By 3071, the equipment became commonly available.<ref name="IOp35+">''Interstellar Operations'', pp. 35-226, Improved Jump Jets</ref>

Variation of the Improved Jump Jets were created for the [[ProtoMech]] in 3075 named [[Extended Jump Jet]]s.<ref>''Interstellar Operations, extended Jump Jets, P65 - Extended JumpJets are based on the Improved Jump Jets.</ref>

== Rules ==
<div class="gamerules">
=== Game Rules ===
Improved Jump Jets take up two critical slots each and are twice the mass of standard jump jets, but allow the 'Mech's maximum jumping MP to equal its running MP. Additionally, Improved Jump Jets produce half the heat of standard models, at one heat point per 2 hexes jumped, with a minimum of 3 heat points.
