Very cool, but

Why? Will that Blast Shield actually function as Ablative Armor (since glass in SC is equally resistent/hard as hull material)?
Isn't that a bit tiny for the commander on the second bridge and the pilot in this seat here? You have no peripheral vision. Anvil needs to get on Xian tech (showcased on the Mirai Fury MX) or Tevarin Tech (Esperia Talon) right away to help our pilots!

We can also see how it deploys in the IAE Day 1 video: https://youtu.be/ZJPWyUwk-eg?t=1007

and the carrack cargo bay doors :)
