jump jets as seen in mech commander and mech warrior games.
for smaller mechs they allow "floating"
for larger mechs they allow crossing rivers, obstacles and "death from above" attacks..
this would be a nice additional module and mechanic.
and i'd be far less annoyed when inadvertantly running in to impassable terrain.
The search button is your friend 
i'd prefer an out and out flying bot. who needs rocket boosters when you can have a helicopter for a head?
Same button 
i don't get the search button comment...
i think mechwarrior style jump jets would be a great step in a future expansion.
flying is way off.
jump jets for lights mechs are for terrain traversal and reconnaissance while "floating"
jump jets for assault mechs are for terrain traversal and "death from above" attacks
jump jets for heavy mechs are for crossing rivers or jumping from a ledge to land at the bottom of a revine etc..
There is a thread about this already with a very lengthy discussion on the subject.
But carry on talking to yourself by all means!
In short people came up with many ideas for boosting speed and covering terrain gaps but making it fun but not game breaking is hard. Too simple and people will use it but won't enjoy it and make it too unfair and it'll get abused and ruin the frail balance.
I remember the bunny hoppers in mechwarrior. It is kinda game breaking.
