We all know how bad the canopy is for some hull tanks (I'm looking at you alliance ships), and even some shield tanks which it would be nice to fly shields down occasionally!! Vulture!!
So how about this...canopy engineering. You can choose from three levels, 50% more hp, 75% and 100%, and each level reduces visibility in some way a little bit more, eg, the first level could just give a slight additional black outline to the glass edges that would not be transparent nor work for sensor display, think like a tv with a fat facia. Level 2 could introduce a couple of additional struts into the canopy frame, and finally, level 3 is like riot bars on the police wagons, actual thick bars in front of the cockpit.
Hull tanks have alot of other problems I knw this won't make them instantly viable, but it would be fun, and help a bit.
