Jump Height

Hi all. I am puzzled.... I was playing the mission "Tear of the Prophets". There's a certain room with a big energy tube in the middle with 2 very high platforms on either side. Beneath each platform was a different configuration of boxes. On one side, I was able to jump up the boxes and get to the platform. However, on the other side, I wasn't...... but my bridge officers were able to. I tried watching them but they just seemed to be able to jump waaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than me. Is this the case? Is there a reason my jump height is limited compared to my officers?

See attached. I'm the guy in the white uniform, the other chars are my bridge officers.

    BO's have super human jumping abilities in a futile attempt to keep them from getting stuck. If you like to jump on things purchase a Caitan character from the c-store... they jump very high.

    Personally I think the player jump height is waaay to much as it is.
    Whilst standing still wearing full armor with weapon I can jump higher than my own head!?
    But hey, its just a game.

    If I looked at that picture correctly, I can see a smaller box behind the large box which your BOs are on. Maybe you need to go around and jump on that to get up?

    And my BO are all superhuman too.

    NPCs can all jump high...this is so they don't get stuck somewhere. In Beta, you had NPCs leaping up like 30 feet into the air whenever they encountered obstacles they couldn't get past lol

    If you train enough, yes.
    When I was heavy into martial arts, I could do a standing jump that was almost my own height.
    I saw a football game where the receiver jumped up to catch the ball and a defenseman ran under him, reaching up to hit his feet, causing him to spin as he fell.

    But also, fun > reality :D

    You're the captain. When you say jump, they ask, "How high?"
