Solution for Hydromanning and the Jetpack overpowered issue

With the Warfare Update 2 in full swing one issue that I've seen the community talk about alot is hydromanning. For those of you who aren't informed that's using a character's jetpack to move around the defenses of a ship and to board the vessel. Destroying it from the inside out. This isn't very balanced and since you can change directions so easily you can easily avoid all weapon's fire ( a tactic I'm sure all of us have used on random encounters) People have come up with various solutions to this issue. One I've seen is a kill zone around the ship with a block however I think this has the potential to be abused by the commnity by making missles to move these. My idea will not only eliminate the issue but also balance the jetpacks in solo survival as well. Here's my list of changes and ill be adding how I envision them helping out the multiplayer experience. I'll touch on how this will help the survival later on in my summary.

________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Limiting jetpack speed to 25 m/s : This change alone could help both aspects of the game. In the obvious hydromanning issue it would allow weapons to track targets more effectively and for them to kill the players that are attempting to board.

2. Fuel consumption is determined on thrust amount: With Hydromanning the tactic is based on quick movements to avoid oncoming gunfire. As far as I've seen the jetpacks just consistently drain fuel unless you run them really hard for a long time. Balance them to consume more fuel with sudden changes in movement or for hard and long burns. It's possible that they do this already but in space the difference is barely noticeable.

3. Limit hydrogen bottles you can carry to one: This one is somewhat debatable since the speed would basically ruin hydromanning anyways but this would mess up a counter to my number 2 change to the jetpack. Simply put this would make long distance journeys impossible. Having multiple tanks would still allow you to travel great distances and manuver very quickly around turrets. This would also balance the jetpack in solo survival so that players can no longer reasonably fly to stations without a ship.

4. Allow these changes to be reverted in game options: Similar to the progression system and other configurable options in the menu these allow you to customize the game experience. This should be the same in case you want to have 100m/s and more powerful packs of before this hypothetical update.

My goal with these changes is not only to nerf hydromanning in multiplayer combat, but to make the jetpack to what it's supposed to be: a utility tool. Space Engineers work in a multitude of environments and the suit is designed to cope with those including zero G or low gravity environments. However I think these tools are too powerful and turns the engineer from an average human into a superman of sorts. Simply put: why built a ship to get to stations when you can just fly in your suit to them? The goal of the jetpacks is to allow you to do simple one man tasks in space and low gravity and to get yourself unstuck however they have (in my opinion) ruined the progression by allowing a quick way out if you need to get somwhere whether thats planet gravity or space. Ships are our vessels that allow us to do things we normally wouldn't be capable of as engineers whether thats welding or scounting for resources or fighting other players. The fact that the engineer can do major things on their own detracts from the scale of the planets and the work keen has made in making such a large universe to explore. Looking into the real night sky I've always been fascinated with the unimaginable scale of the universe and how truly small we are in the scheme of things. I hope these changes will not only balance combat and make this update even better than it is, but to make the game feel even bigger than before and being that wonder of real space and the scale and challenge of things into Space Engineers.
