The Glide Wing passively improves your mech's ability to stay in the air.
Use
When equipped and activated, the glide wing will increase your mech's buoyancy rating, causing you to stay in the air longer and fall in a less harsh fashion.
Other Notes
This occupies the same slot as omni-mounted jumpjets. Strife Jets generally equip on the stomach, making this a wonderful utility to mount on any strife-enabled mech. You will have a far easier time staying in the air with one equipped. There are a few mechs with a jumpjet that hard-mounts to a non-spine slot. For those mechs, the Glide Wing is an excellent edition as well if you intend on using the jumpjet liberally.
Use a gesture to bind /1arm spine to a key. Use that key to quickly toggle your Glide wing, allowing to to descend faster when you need to, and also allowing you to maintain control more easily when you are ground-fighting and don't wish to pop up into the air randomly whenever you run over a lump.
