I assume Life Support is directly related to the canopy. I reinforce the Life Support (grade D) on all of my combat ships just in case: "Misc Reinforced". This is an engineering mod you can upgrade up to grade 4 (integrity +240%) from Lori Jameson. I hope someone that knows for sure will come along and either confirm or correct this assumption.
Life support integrity is the health pool for the life support module. If your life support goes offline or is destroyed, your emergency oxygen will be released. It has nothing to do with the canopy integrity afaik. The only way to "toughen up" your canopy is with module reinforcements, and repairing it with afmu when it's still up
That makes sense. Ever since I started adding MRP I've never lost my canopy and that was way before I started reinforcing life support.
Yes.
Hull resistance values help as well, except against absolute damage, of course.

This^^
It is also important to note that if your life support module is taken out in a fight, you can't launch any more fighters. I usually go for the armored varient that increases mass, not power draw.
This really only applies if you are using a ship with fighters lol
Good to know!

No that doesn't work that way. However, if your shields go down and an enemy takes out your power plant with railguns, you may explode before your hull reaches zero.
As far as I am aware IF your life support is taken out, your ship will revert to emergency oxygen. Same goes for a canopy breach
