A suggestion would be to hide the number next to your mods in gear and replace it with the actual number for the mod. Currently it looks as such:
Armoring (22)
Mod (22) etc...
Why not change it to the actual mod number that is in the gear so that it becomes easier to compare the two when upgrading mods, armor, hilts, etc. Actual mods in the gear:
Armoring (8)
Mod (8)
(I am level 24 currently)
Just a thought for consideration or feedback.
