maybe we won't see so many bluesuits in towns thanx to the armor drop. today a player was giving away "beyond repair" leather jackets to the bluesuits in Hub. they cant sell them (well, 1 caps for each) and it doesn't bring any real protection, and players could wear them without fearing to lose it. this doesn't harm the gameplay. besides, seeing players in broken leather jackets even if it is as protective as a nylon bag is better than seeing bluesuits all over the towns.

Additionally, you can get amusing bluffing from busted ass armor.
You can't actually tell that someone has armor with the integrity of candy floss just by awareness.

Of course, the Devs might want to change that, because you would think if you could tell what something was just by looking at it, you could tell that it was falling apart at the seams.

Another issue I see is that broken up metal armor might be used for town control. (That is, unless it doesn't work if it's totally/mostly busted). It just seems to kind of defeat the purpose if you can use people who are basically blue suits who only LOOK like well armored people to TC.

Considering both issues, not only would you be TC'ing with lame, busted armor, but people you were fighting would not be able to tell who "really" counted as being able to contest the town, and who was just some schmuck in tin foil.
