let me correct myself: "a one-size-fits-all system, where there was only one class with different grades not multiple classes. Otherwise those would give even bigger and bigger amounts."

besides. Those cockpits are always a bit immersion breaking. In the wast emptyness of space, a place as hostile as it can be, having huge cockpits is a non starter from a security standpoint. Not just the canopies: the volume itself is problematic, as it makes a save retreat, when broken, impossible.

A real spaceship would have a backup plan for that, where you can give up one room and captain your ship from another, hence making each rather small, to never lose too much of your ship at once, would be key. Think "bulkheads in the titanic" (if only they had closed them in time...)
