When I do remember it, it's often clunky to use because unlike say, the minimap, you can't just have a quick glance, the information is often hard to see. So I went into paint ('Cause I suck with photoshop) to make the readout I would like to have ingame. http://i.imgur.com/zZVlh0J.jpg Notes: -A frame around the readout so it would be easier to locate at a glance the general location of the readout. -The class of the suit you're fighting against is in big letters at the top, to make it 100% clear of what exactly you're fighting. -Tiered the information from top to bottom, from most important to least important. Range Shields Armor Meta level -Just like the current readout, any active modules like resists and damage mods are put in bright red letters -To the right there is the effectivnes of your weapon against the target, so you could always tell at a glance if it's a good idea to engage Since this is in paint, it's hard to fix mistakes after you saved the image. However, here is the small changes I would make: -Remove the "WARNING" part of the red message, keeping just the "damage mod" part. The least amount of reading to get to the information you need the better. -Move the range readout to the same area as the effectiveness readout, and use the same size numbers and letters. -Since more space is cleared that way, increase the size of the meta level and red message.

Also we don't need stuff stating what's armour and what's shields - shields are the top one and armour the bottom one. Also MLT/ADV/PRO should be removed entirely as it is useless in an actual gunfight. The frame could be made thinner, but I think it needs to be there. Often hard to find the readout at a glance. MLT/ADV/PRO IS important to know what you're going up against. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

I.E. if you're below 50% it will be read. That's a cool idea. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Also I'd like a more obvious visual AND audiological cue when I've recieved a warbarge strike. The place on the screen where this message pops up now is way to easy to miss. How about we make the AI tells us that we have a Warbarge Strike? Similar to how the AI says: "RDV Request Accepted" and "Deployment Successful". I believe they already have it from one of the trailers. I distinctly remember "Orbital Strike: Launched" Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos
