When armor deteriorates, your dropsuit gets lighter. So you should be able to run faster...
When your armor deteriorates further, your dropsuit should start to malfunction:
weapons jam - ROF/DPS drops
servos loose torque - speed drops, unable to jump
scanners loose range/precision
HUD starts to flicker
comms begin to gain jitter
The same should be experienced with vehicles.
This effect could be countered with new core engineering skills for dropsuits and vehs upgrades skills trees
Just to add more immersion when core games becomes stable... |

Imagine animating heavy dropsuit without any. Your clone's heart would burst out of your chest through your nose from the enormous strain... |

Who said it would be assessed by % left of armor? It would rather be fixed level of HP, below which you would start to notice any deterioration.
And you would gain in speed (as your armor gets lighter and lighter) above that level up to full armor. Repairing would reverse those effects. And repairing module (if any equipped) would be the last to break. Meaning your HP dropped to zero  |

A side note. EVE ships loose modules and weapons and performance drops along with HP loss during battles... Your ship begins to *cough* "pass the smoke"
Yes i know, "DUST IS NOT EVE" blah blah blah Relax... |

I would prefer fixed level of HP left, equal for all dropsuits (ok maybe different but just a little) than % of total armor left...
And dropsuits have only Armor and Shields. No Structure. I think the armor is simultaneously the structure in dropsuits. So the fixed armor HP left "buffer" making up for structure damage and dropsuit malfunctions. |
