I loved the Wile-E Coyote physics of that one window that didn't immediately realize it was time to fall down. I also loved the aptly named FSS Ship, first of her name and a credit to her nation, even if she's a bit of a brick.
When I started making cockpits custom I was getting mad at how the glass would bust out then I would get ejected. Once I found out you could double up the layers it made them more durable
For light warships, I use a cockpit block (optionally as an extension of a conventional walkable bridge). That has a lot of health, good field of view and doesn't limit the design of the bridge as much as double-layering does. For heavy warships, I fight from an armored, windowless control room and accept that any windowed rooms (including the "open" bridge; I don't like ships without one) are likely to take damage. For civilian ships, ballistic protection is unimportant anyway and I'd much rather have the freedom to build my windows how I want them.
What a surprise, more bulletproof glass is more bulletproof. Though really, if you're worried about ballistic protection, you should be flying from a cockpit block (with lots of bulletproof glass built in) and/or an armored compartment inside the ship, not a (terribly fragile) control seat right behind a window.
the question I have is: was any damage transferred to the second window block before the first block was completely destroyed? I think the best place to check that was the rocket launcher after firing once, was the second window block damaged at all?

Bullet proof glass ❌
Rocket propelled & altilaryy resistant window ✅
all Delbinsen observation decks feature double glass windows for this exact reason. excellent experiment

Don't people already double layer their bridge?
i never thought to put the glass back to back like that. although I have had LCD with a window backing. just never did all the windows.
you don't even need a bridge
@@Keyboard_Thoughts but its cool :(
@@mikagrof9243 i prefer submarine vibes to solar radiation and blackness of vacuum

you're doing gods work

nice. i kept putting a space between each instead of turning one to attach to teh back of the other.
I use them as plating instead of heavy. I feel like its better than light but not as strong as heavy
I do this all the time for structure & because it provides better tint on standard windows

That's why I double my window layers.
I was wondering that very question for the past few days. Thanks Luca 😁
I wonder if it is (already) possible to do double layered SLOPED windows in SE2. Only one way to find out.
Too bad you can only stack 2 layers until it starts looking less aesthetically pleasing
Good I almost thought you was going to expose another one of my build tricks but it was just a building tip a lot don't do this
