I was recently told that nobody should settle for a compromise. Aim for win-win. Besides, if one gains something while the other loses, then that is not even a compromise.
You could as well propose that NPC -- and only NPC -- gain ability to jump (btw, which they already do have and use) and they do use it only for coordinated attacks against the player assets. Frequently. That would give some players pesky trouble, for some "a challenge", and for you "jumpdrives in the game". Everybody wins?
