    It seems that effects like salvage/antimatter/repair beams and missles don't show up through glass. This normally wouldn't be a particularly big issue, but it can get very frustrating when you're building a larger ship with a bridge instead of a cockpit, and you end up not being able to see where your weapons are going. If there's any way to fix this, any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Probably just a bug that needs to be fixed by schema for the next update, I doubt there's anything you can do about it.

    This bug actually happens if you have a cockpit block with a glass block somewhere in it's field of vision too.
    [QUICK FIX] instead of having the glass infront of the core block( with a space of nothing inbetween it) you just have a line of hull blocks that lead to the outside of the ship from the core block. For some reason the game will put your view point through the hull blocks. I dont know if just putting glass blocks in a line works but it cant hurt to try it.

    Thanks, that worked perfectly! It'll definitely be a lot more effective for protection than a glass window with a hole in it, too. Hopefully glass will be fixed soon, though, since it would be really nice for making large bridges on capital ships.
