I think that upgrading armor should have the same effect that it did in NS1 (2.0?). When the upgrade is complete, all soldiers on the field receive it's full benefit, instantly.
It would make for some interesting rushes, as marines would want/need to be in the think of it just as the Armor-Ups sweeps through (the nano-grid).

are you suggesting that the armor should be restored to its maximum whenever it is upgrades? i'd be against that as it adds an advantage at rather arbitrary times which is not related to strategy that much.
skulk chews away your armor, then in the middle of the combat it is fully restored: lucky.
if it upgrades right after the skulk has killed you: unlucky.
attacking right before an upgrade finishes seems rather counter-intuitive too.
Rarely does a frontiersman purchase the welder, or commanders upgrade it at armory. MACs can't repair armors (although it would be cool if they would repair frontiersmen within their vacinity). Aliens get armor healed any place that they can get any sort of healing.
You say luck, I say timing..

Like ur thinking!
Cuz u get instantly weapon upgrades as the marine and u dont have to "die" or reBuy a weapon from the armory.

but you don't get full ammo, do you? that would be the logic step if you applied this suggestion to weapon upgrades too.
as for luck, i am refering to in-combat-situations, not for preparing an assault.
for preparaing an assault, thats what welders are for imo. if this suggestion is implemented, they will be even less used on the front lines.
I'm thinking the same. If at all, you could increase the max-armor, right after the upgrade comes in. But you have to go to an armory or get welded to really get the benefit.
