i am trying to make a hovering unit. and failing. i was hoping the jetpack colud be repalced by a dropship engine, which is always on. i used the retro thrusters, the sparks that fly out the side like a normal jetpak. this just made a powerful jetpack. then i tried a rocket main engine. this was VERY powerful jetpak.
is there any way to kind of "meld" a set of dropship engines to a actor?

also can you get jetpacks to point upwards so you go downwards?(i use low grav)

If you tell a jetpack to point downwards, it will always point downwards. Just tell the jetpack to use a negative velocity. And no, vehicle engines can not be melded to an actor, sorry.
