Why would you do that? You're basically screaming "HEY! SHOOT ME!"

The enemy was aiming where you were, not where you are.

I haven't seen anywhere Cora could hide a jetpack. Though maybe she uses that Biotic Leap ability that Adepts get.

Liam is the only one with an obvious jet pack. Cora and Peebee could using the biotic equivalent, but Vetra and Drack doesn't seem to have jet packs and neither is a biotic.

I really hope that they don't decide to fuck over the mobility of Turians, and Krogans in this game like they did in ME3.

You want the likely truth? It's difficult to have AI use something like a jetpack as efficiently as a human player. The pathfinding would probably break and its entirely possible they'd end up being useless in combat.

There probably wont be a lore reason for it. Im not too bothered by it honestly, Id much rather the AI stay grounded so that I can keep an eye on them.

Damn right, you should be scared of me.

That'd be ironic, since the it was a turian that introduced us to the first jet boosters in Mass Effect.

This is so true if it were real combat. This being a game, the AI won't key on you immediately (or maybe ever) and take advantage of you being uncovered and vulnerable. Otherwise, they wouldn't point this out as some "fun" battle mechanic.
