Canopy customizations.

So a few of my friends and I have been thinking about stuff and the topic of canopies came up. What if we had canopy customization? We could have a standard version that is what it is now, a reinforced variant that costs say 10% of your ship's base hull cost and mass, and an armoured variant that costs 20% of the hull costs and mass.
The reinforced could double your canopy's durability, while the armoured variant is unbreakable. Well then, why wouldn't I use the armoured variant on all my combat ships?
The armoured canopy replaces all the glass with armour plating.
How do I see out of my cockpit/bridge? The inside of the now covered canopy has view screens. Only that the screens have the wire frame graphics of the original Elites.

P.S. I have never played the originals. I am also on xbox.

Maybe a Engineer update idea also. I know Limos has Armored. But I don't think we should have anything should be Unbreakable.
 
I'd think it would be fun to play just using the orange holographic display! Could also double up as night vision, because it could see what you can not!

Has no downside though. Except mass and cost.
 
i made that kind of suggestion and offered retractable canopy armors with custom UI change but they throw space rocks at me. hope u will get better support.
