In-Game Alerts

[Flatline22]

A very helpful feature during gameplay is some sort of alert of warning when a certain threshold has been reached during defence missions and countdowns. During defence missions, while there is a window showing the cryopod's health, during  waves when you are in the fray you concentrate on the fight and forget to check the cryopod's health until you realize too late that it is about to be destroyed, failing the mission.

 

It would be nice if some warning lights/alert/anything would trigger when the health falls bellow say 20% or less, giving you enough time to reach the pod and protect it. Same goes for countdowns like during events such as when the ship integrity has been breached.

The pod's HP bar flashes as soon as the shields are depleted and HP is being damaged...you can't miss unless you're really into your thing, the problem I see most of the times is players going off on their own and leaving the pod while one guy (usually that's me) sits at the pod...then the mission fails because they realize too late what's going on. And about the countdown on Sabotage missions, it's a fairly sized window showing you that 5 mins are left to extract, and once it goes to 1 minute it changes color. This suggestions is invalid.
