Resistant Glass

There's no need for this. The only reason you'd ever want a thermal-proof glass is for the flamethrower, which won't be used against ships anyways. Useless. Kinetic? We don't have gravity. Useless. Acidic? Fuel isn't acidic. Useless. Electric? Electricity can't escape outside of the wires. Useless.
We have regular and bullet-resistant glass and that's enough.

Useless?? These are all damage types or expected environmental conditions and glass is made of two things in SB with as of yet unknown properties... Why be so quick to defend a pre-alpha game from content suggestions?
fuel is "corrosive" some things still react with glass IRL, i havent seen whether fuel in SB does or not so thought it would be useful to have fuel proof windows.

Sorry to attack you so quick.
As far as we know, fuel and electricity doesn't exist outside of numbers on a screen when that screen is connected to a reactor. Has no physical behavior, therefore can't really interact with glass too much.
Kinetic glass might be interesting, although I can't see how you'd differentiate crash-damage (kinetic energy into a moon) from a ship part smacking your window.

Emmkay.
I havent found it but i thought it was discussed in one of the progress videos or maybe a combat vid. Here's corrosion info fir when we do find something to apply it to.

For kinetic i was just thinking of a hardened glass. In the materials section there is an "armored glass" mentioned which is probably exactly that.

And yes, there's armored glass already in the game which I'm guessing is more like a seethrough plate in that it's more strudy.

Its made of the most common material in the game, just as real glass is made out of silicon in the real world. It can be structural, like glass in the real world. People have a certain expectation to the properties of what glass is. So why would they have a glass that doesn't act like glass in real life?
