This is in the same line as the post about energy, but related to armor damage. I would like a separate echo each time a piece of armor hits a significant damage level. Scuffed, damaged, heavily damaged, and so on. I don't obsessively check my armor command so I often don't realize how damaged my armor is until it's about to be destroyed, or until it's already gone. This might help people with the same issue.
The message could read something like:
Your (insert armor here) becomes (damage level) from use.
Armor status messages
Re: Armor status messages
Couldn't you just start checking it occasionally?
Re: Armor status messages
Yes. That doesn't change that the feature might be nice to have. If a GM disagrees, they'll say so. And that'll be fine.
