Also something extremely possible with default jumpjets, aside from the distance drifting part.
But if it's specifically for drifting long distances, I guess that's all it is. Again, situational, and not something worth investing into.
There is no point in upgrading a jetpack like that if it will rarely be of much use. I know how it can be used, that is not the point. It's the fact that those situations are few and far between. Drifters need an advantage in basic ground combat at least. Extra speed, extra stability, something. If drifters were on par with the other jumpjets, I think people would use them as much. If you play light assault enough, you realize how sub-par these things really are outside of their situational capabilities. Not only that but a drifter is one of the easiest sniper targets ever.
