Going to have to go with Option A, but Option B looks nice too. Unlike the latter though, I actually have a use for A.
Still, it'd be nice if we could get all of these options instead of being forced to vote for each one -_-
Tough choice between 'A' and 'B' to me, but I'm going to have to go with 'A' for the versatility (and I worry about 'B' clipping with certain female hairstyles).

Don't really care, not going to buy anyways.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I voted A, but it was a tough choice between A and B. I know a lot of people commented that A looks too much like the raptor pack temp power, but the raptor is only shown when in use, whereas these are always visible. I think that either A or B would be better if they had a rings/no rings option for the top and a flames/thruster halos for the exhaust. It would add a lot of versatility to both retro and non-retro looks. C could be a bit cooler-retro looking if they had a couple of rings around the body/nose cone and maybe near the base above the thruster as options.
B reminds me of that movie the Rocketeer, and I think it would be awesome
Definitely A!
For me it was a toss up between A and B. I ultimately went with A because:
1. B is thermally incompatible with skirts
2. Because A doesn't have traditional exhausts, I think there's more possibilities for interesting travel auras with A
3. I'm adding my voice to the retractable nacelles thing
4. A will be more overtly visible than B, and if I'm strapping on a rocket pack on one of my characters, I'm clearly not going with the discrete look.
5. After they make the model and release it, I'm going to ask for it to be flipped on its back and turned into a rocket board option.

"C"
If its broke, don't fix it... I like the chaos!
D. All of the above
B!!!!
Really great work. It's so hard to pick just one!
Option C.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
I just love those flippin' rings too much to pass up.
I'd take A. I like B a lot, but the rings, while awesomely retro, basically mean the pack would ONLY work for retro style costumes. This is a lot of the problem I had with the halloween pack. The parts are just so -specific-.
That said, if the rings were maybe an option for B, than I'd prefer that.

Check out my first Architect Arc, "Bring Up the Sun", arc #339507, and let me know what you think!
pack a definitely...pack b? just didn't like it as well...pack c is straight up lame....sorry, just callin' em as i see em....is there any chance you guys could pull off a jetpack that looks like the bond pack from "from russia with Love?" something like that would be the best idea for a jet-pack ever...in my opinion of course
Aww. I was on a roll with picking options that turned out to be the currently most popular, but this time I ended up picking the LEAST popular, with C.
Admittedly I really like B too, but I thought more people would see the appeal of strapping something that looks like a big ol' Saturn V onto their back.
Well, it was a tough choice. I had to consider *. . . skips to the end . . .*
and THAT is why I selected version A.
@ Purgatorio
B looks very retro, but I think A could be used more widely, so Ima gonna vote AAAAAA
Aptum KM/SD scrapper (Defiant) Aptum brute (freedom) Aptum MA/SR scrapper (union)
Aptum. DB/Regen scrapper (union) Frank Murphy MA/SD scrapper (defiant)
Dirk Dark Thug/FF MM (defiant) Grunt-503 AR/Dev blaster (defiant)
Hot-HunterZ Kin/Fire controller (defiant) HunterZ Claw/Inv scrapper (defiant)
Kniteborne Stone/Mace tank (defiant) Knitemare PB (defiant) Seer Martinez Widow (defiant)
I like B. A doesn't really say "retro" or "sci fi" to me, just "tech rocketpack", and very closely resembles the Raptor we already have available. If we only can have one I'd like to see a totally different look, B also fits the theme of the set perfect. C says more actual "rocketship" than pack to me.

I'd love to have all three and more. But unless you know for sure you can apply a modern design tool to a 10 year old game engine I wouldn't get too excited.

Voted for B for this particular set.
On the note of 'particular set' though... I'd really, REALLY like to see more in the way of jet packs in the future for costume pieces. Not powers or anything else, just costume bits ranging from retro sci-fi to ultra-high tech and even fixed wings and hover packs.
There's too many examples throughout superherodom and other fiction, it's kinda a blatant missing option in the game. (Even seeing some of the current in-game jet packs as costume pieces would be great, like the raptor pack.)
