And why?
That would be a complete waste of module slots. Not all ships have as many slots as Anacondas and Cutters. It's already all too stupid that you have to have a separate module slot for every single wretched scanner, when they could simply have built into the Planetary Approach Suite instead. I fly small combat ships most of the time and this is why I virtually never have an ADS with me.
Yeah i guess we all could need a module, that would protect our canopy. We should name it than Module Reinforcement Package.
It is a Module, that gives 60% damage reduce to our canopy, when stacked 2 of them it will be around 84% damage reduce. The MRP should take the damage instead.
We really need this! Please fix
This so much!!
You can 'deal' (Gribley beat my not very well prepared ship relatively easily in my very first pvp fight) with as many pilots as you want, doesn't mean you understand the game better than me. Just means you've had more practice at pvp. I'm a theorycrafter, so trust ME, when I tell you that MRPs do affect canopy resistance.
P.S. I'm ready to go again whenever you are.
oh god, that info makes me more angry than i was about the canopies.
if that's the case then the canopy on the chief is either so insanely weak that the MRP does nothing to stop the damage (IE it pops on the first railgun/PA volley) or its bugged beyond belief.
its long been an assumption held by the PvP'ers that MRP does nothing for canopy as that's what has been observed so much. even with the FAS people can lose their canopy on the first volley (its just extremely rare) and now with the chief and tonnes of people are losing canopy on first volley (watch my vid of it going when my hull is at %92 when i had a class 5 MRP) its pretty plain something is either horribly wrong, or poorly made.
[edit] im down for a rematch anytime. if you hit me up ingame and im not busy on something ill take a trip to founders and we can have another go.

This is wrong, the canopy is counted as an internal by mrps, i have tested it stacking 2 mrps drastically improve canopy.
Slighty off topic: would targeting the life support target the canopy? I cant test it till this weekend, if so would it be a good idea to B rate it and shield/reinforce mod it?
Must be the occasional direct damage from hull hits that's confusing you. More common with the stronger PvP weapons and frequent hull damage.
After all these ships only have 30 raw canopy integrity.
No. Different module.
I must admit I don't quite get that: how does something you stick in a internal bay have the ability to strengthen the canopy?
You should ask the manufacturer of MRPs. ☺
same way hull reinforcement modules work on the hull while taking up an optional internal slot or module reinforcement modules work on the modules while being in an unrelated optional internal slot or the same way that the ship slows down after you boost with flight assist off... not saying these are all things I agree with, but it's a game and for the sake of simplicity of developing the game code, FDev choose to implement things like this
