Dampeners on/off should not be blocked while using jetpack boost.

Almost filed this as a bug. The Z key to turn dampeners on/off does not function while you are holding shift to do a jetpack boost. I get that this is shift +z to turn relative dampeners on/off, but the ability to toggle dampeners on/off while boosting feels like a natural flight control that I would use a million times for often than turning the relative dampeners on and off, especially since the latter turns off automatically when you leave the immediate area around your moving grid...which is 90% of the use cases for wanting the relative dampeners off in the first place.

Also get that you can turn them off and then accelerate to your hearts content. This is why I decided to put it here as feedback. It's counter intuitive that you can't boost and then switch to dampeners off without suddenly completely stopping and wasting the whole boost.

The combination of 'turn them off to start and accelerate to boost speed (in space)' with no hydrogen consumption, compared to boost using hydrogen (at about the same rate) and everything around those concepts is kind of wonky still.

though I suppose that the last bit is a different kind of feedback, the varying jetpack rules feel kind of disconnected still.
