I didn't know where to post this, but since armour are "Items", this seemed the best place.
As our weapons decay through use, we get 50% and 25% condition warnings put across our screen. Well how many times have you been furiously fighting away, not being aware of rate of decay of your armour and all of a sudden it's dead?
Well could we please get warning alarms for our armour as we get for our weapons please?

Nice idea, maybe some sort of graphical affect whereby the armour becomes dirty and tatty as it decays. Although I guess this wouldn't be much use if you are using first person view. Actually, considering the additional artwork required and the possible additional load in rendering it all, I'm not sure it's such a good idea afterall. 
Maybe an icon under our HAM bars instead then.

Nice ideas, although at the moment I'd be happy with a text alert on my screen like I get for weapons.
This was prompted after an intensive few days of "AOE" grinding, and I noticed my leg armour was 0 condition, which in itself wasn't so bad, but that particular peice of armour had +8 Carb Accuracy, +5 Carb Speed and +2 Rifle Defence (can't remember the mods exactly, but they were somethig like that). So the issue is particularly burning with me just now.

Ouch, Legs and helmets decay the fastest I think. I made the mistake of putting a +6 general ranged speed tape on my helmet, I have it sliced to prevent decay but Ive still had to repair it twice. (M armorsmith alt

What would be cool is if they made armor visuals like vehicles. at 75% max hp it begins to smoke, at 50% it chatches on fire, etc.
