OMG Rocket Boot Aura!!!

[biostem]

I didn't see this talked about, (or maybe I just missed it), but there is now a "travel aura" that gives you wonderful rocket plumes out the bottom of your feet, which you can select to occur while jumping, flying, or both!  No longer must I be confined to rocket boots to get rockets on my feet!  TYVM!

I noticed that as well but I still don't know what it looks like, and I'd have to turn off the rainbow path aura to get it, so...

Try adding wings in the costume editor. They put you in a flying/hover animation that might trigger the rocket boot aura.

Ever see the robot MM pets while under the effect of group fly?  It's like that.  The character I posted is only like level 1, so I can't quite capture it, (though it does work while jumping too, but my printscrn finger ain't that fast, lol).  I'll try to get a better picture when I can...

 That part I asked for specifically 😉

I added it to a couple of my characters for jumping, since they're "normals" with skills rather than super powers, so their big jumps (via athletic run + CJ) are boosted by little rockets on their boots. It's a neat effect.

Here it is with black on black.  It does take colors, but it has a bit of color baked in.

Got a few of my own to add as well.  It seems to pulse between a few animations, from a lighter puff of smoke/exhaust to a more focused/concentrated one:

I tried it out, and it does help a couple of my characters.  For that, a big thanks!

 

That said,  I dislike that there's no way to see it in the costume setup screen.  I basically have to buy it, then buy each color change, exiting the tailor screen each time until I find the right match.  That's a mere annoyance for a 50 with more INF than they know what to do with, but is problematic for a first timer with INF issues.  

 

Also, why was this granted and the flame not also added to the "Vanguard w/ Jetpack" backpack?   That item has been screaming for a flame ever since it was released.

You can give yourself wings temporarily to see them in action.  That's how I got my screenshot above.

Monstrous hand option, colored to look like her skin, ('defense' pattern, IIRC).
