Just broke cockpit canopy

[GreatPalm]

I have keelback with no shields, just pure cargo.
Got interdicted by npc pirate on imperial courier.
On third frontal attack my canopy broken.

I killed him, but died due to broken cabin.

So, making ship tanky with no shield is really bad idea? Only shield focused combat ships viable?

For shieldless combat ships you need:
Hull reinforcements
Module reinforcements
A class life support

In case you still have bad survivability:
AFMS
Repair drone. (this one would repair your canopy)

You can synthesize oxygen with some mats on the right panel or install a higher life support for more time.

It´s possible to fly around with no shields. An integrity with 1000+ should be more than enough to hold out some dmg. .

No offense, but who uses a keelback lol

On a serious note, put full pips to engines or systems and high-wake out of there

Keelback is a great Passenger/Cargo ship. Also good for entry level mining.

This should be marked as the answer. Found out the hard way after the fact myself the other day in a Hazres. I almost made it and had the mats to make it had I known.
