One correction here...the Skyraider Jet Pack should be 60 minutes duration, not 90 minutes. I did it yesterday expecting that the duration would be 90 minutes but it was one hour.

Thanks for the correction, unfortunately I can no longer edit the original post, however if I ever create a V2 of the guide, I will be sure to update it!
Just as one more data point to add:
With my latest toon, I had done no missions in Cap at all until I hit level 15. After doing a Mayhem for Boris, he offered me Marshall Brass as a contact right away, without having to go through Shelley.
If you've kept up the latest news of the COH/COV Good Vs. Evil pack, coming soon, you would have noticed that it will entittes it's owners to a Prestige Jetpack.
This guide may soon be simplified to "buy the GvE edition"

Correction to my previous post: Jump Jet Prestige Power

It's a little different than Superjump. It's a little different than flight.
It's kinda like a Superjump where you can "add height" at any point in the jump (even when you are falling back down) by pressing the spacebar. By itself its horizontal mobility is limited, but you do carry your forward momentum into your jump. This means that superspeeders will get a huge horizontal jump out of it.
It helps the other Travel Powers too, so it has a benefit even when you have another travel option:
Fly: Increases the speed of Flying
Superleap: Increases your Jump height and distance
Superspeed: Get the above mentioned horizontal jump
Teleport: You can use it to extend your "hover" time by hitting spacebar when you are falling.
It runs for 30 seconds, and has a base recharge time of 150 seconds. The inobvious caveat of "these numbers can change at any time" applies here too.

Third Power available: Goldbricker Jet Pack
First Level Available: 15
Location: Cap Au Diablo - Marshall Brass Mission
Travel Type: Flight
Duration: 90 Minutes
This one is slightly more "involved" to get, but everyone can do it and its easy if you know how. Your first job is to finish a mayhem mission in Cap Au Diablo between levels 10->15. When you speak to your broker, choose Dr. Shelly Percey as your contact. Go through her missions, though I'm not certain if you have to do all of them, just some, or none at all. Someone can correct me on that. At level 15, she will introduce you to a new contact, Marshall Brass. Accept his missions, and one of the first ones from him should be to steal the Goldbricker Jet Pack. Upon mission complete you receive the temp power. Like the others, no enhancements.

One note on this - make sure you hit Brass up for the mission as soon as you get him at level 15. I waited a bit as I was busy doing some other things, and when I finally got to him I was level 16. The first mission he offered me was "Take another deniable job from Marshal Brass", which is the SECOND mission in the Arc, and the Arc proceeded from there. The FIRST mission, "Take the job against the Gold Brickers from Marshal Brass" (which yields the rocket pack) was NOT ever given to me. Doh...

This isn't always true, my level 19 corruptor just got Marshall Brass as a contact and he did offer me the mission to get the Goldbricker's rocket pack.

Update: Once I finished the Arc, THEN Brass gave me the first mission in the Arc. Rocket pack acquired.
Interestingly, it looks like he is giving me the rest of the Arc again...
Nice Guide!
Yet another unsung reason why Red-Side is better then Blue-Side lol!
Great guide!

Yep, this exact thing happened to me and I was 17 at the time.
Is that arch Flashbackable? Couldn't you do it over and over and get the backpack then? (Assuming it doesnt last like 5 minutes or something.)

This Jet\Jump pack is very good. It is a toggle with about a 30 second duration and about 5 minute recharge. It is a combination of Fly and SJ because you need to 'jump' to remain airborne but you can 'jump' while airborne. I never get any Travel power anymore except SS, because SS + JumpPack = CJ++, for inside missions I turn on Sprint when needed coupled with swift and hurdle and I am golden.
Give it a whirl!
I got it from the Flashback mission a few days ago, being level 41 normally. When I run out of it, which won't be for a very long time, (since I only use flight for the occasional vertical boost, as a speeder) if no one has posted anything further I will note whether I was able to re-get the jetpack after using it up.
You are able to re-get it. If the pack isn't used up fully, you have to delete the power before getting another pack.
I attempted to just use this as a travel power, but having to do the arc a couple times a day(as it was my only travel power), was just annoying and tedious.

As mentioned, the Sky Raider pack can be obtained by Flashback, but it takes a few missions to get there.
According to Dread Tomax, The Goldbricker pack is not part of an arc. It is simply a random mish Brass gives. He also has 2 arcs though so that means you could have to work through as many as 8 mishs before he gives it (I just completed all 8 at lvl 19 and he gave me the jetpack mish), but he will eventually give it as long as you stay in level range (15-20). To me, it seems random if it comes before the first arc, between arc 1 and 2, or after both, but could be related to level. Anyone know if there is a method to the order contacts give random missions they have?
Thanks for the guide. I was looking to skip a travel power (at least early) on my Arachnos Soldier and this was exactly the info I needed. Which contacts to hit and when.

The question I have is can you go back and join a lowbie to do an Atlas park mayham mission over and over once you have used your pack up and keep getting new ones?
[/ QUOTE ]
Good question! Once you've earned and used a temp power is it possible to go back and earn another? I was thinkin of exemping down some of my non-fliers and doing this for the jetpack. Also wouldn't mind that rez gizmo or the 2 day Speed Increase for that matter. Anyone know or have suggestions?

You only get the temp powers once, when they run out you can not get them again.
