No, AFIK hovers cannot "jump".

If your project needs vertical thrust capabilities then you need to look into the flyer class.

If memory serves, the flyers in Tribes 2 had vertical thrust.

~ Hope this helps.

But what exactly in the flyers make the vertical thrust?

I'm not exactly well versed in the flyer class (working with hovers myself), but I believe there used to be a "vertThrustFactor" variable exposed to the console.

You might try searching through some of the older resources as the newer ones I've looked at don't address this.

It is pretty easy to get them to jump (one of the first scripts I wrote for TGE). Just bind an applyImpulse() command to your jump key (search the scripts for an example of applyImpulse()). You'll need to use a cmdToServer to get it working over the network.
