I'll drop a new weapon idea for you that may be a bit more of a viable option.

Overclocked Weapons.

The weapons are based off the t1 base constructed weapons (let's take a heavy neutron blaster tech 1), adds extra parts to it (let's say sleeper salvage (the non nano ribbon stuff)), and overclocks the weapon.

An overclocked weapon does the following

Damage is that of the t1 module as it currently stands. When heated, damage increases to that of a deadspace weapon (this is using t1 ammo). When unheated, goes back into normal t1 weapon damage.

This provides increased burst damage solely when the weapon is heated, uses t1 ammo, and t1 modules, and requires no moongoop to build.

You just run the risk of melting your weapons if you do not manage heat correctly.

More balanced, accessible for both new and old players, uses a commodity that isn't Widely used, bring a new branch of manufacturing for intermediate industrialists, balanced between burst use and long term use, and should not be ridiculously expensive. Uses a mechanic that has been mildly overlooked for a while.

now i really want one :(

Part of it may come from the use of Blight in the dragon age series. Really, though, I think it's a bit too organic-sounding for a laser cannon; talking about a "diseased" gun would sound pretty odd in most settings, and "blighted" comes off in the same sort of way.

Currently these guns do 8-18% more damage than their t2 counterparts. Would be cool if they did much LESS damage than t2, but ignored target's resistances (or ignored portion of these). This would make a step away from logistics abuse (on both sides - glass cannons and their enemies) and will make more sense in stacking raw HP mods rather than resists.


Credit for this idea goes to suitonia.

Who cares what they're called I've been playing this game for almost ten years if they were 220mm spotted **** I'd still fit it to my ship if they were good

I've not heard the word blight used in the real world other then to describe pest swarms and supernatural/mystical phenomena. Neither of them sound fit for scifi and neither of them describe an attribute of a technological device. You might as well call them cursed if you don't think there is a problem with calling them blighted. What blight mostly describes is corruption and manifestations of evil. You on the other hand are trying to stick the name to a technical device and it feels out of place. It does not help, that it is a word many popular fantasy games have embraced fully and with great justification, since they use it for diseases or evil mystical forces.

A well known scifi alternative example would be "turbo". Star wars had all kinds of lasers, but when it came to massive naval weapons it just wasn't enough, so you had turbo lasers. A simple word that might not be strictly limited to scifi, but more importantly it is hard to imagine hearing it in any fantasy setting, since there is nothing mystical about it and it is strongly associated with describing mechanical devices.

"Blighted" sounds like an enchanted weapon from Skyrim. Please try harder with the sci-fi please.

Edit: Scrolling up it seems everyone already commented on this, but I'm leaving it.

Ah that's the phrase I was looking for

It sounds organic.

I haven't looked at all the stats, I might after class if someone doesn't make them available in a format I can see on my phone. Thusly, anything I say is subject to change and/or retraction when I have seen more data.
With that being said, if the stats are similar across all 3 sizes and the trend of reducing range for higher application also stays the same, it is safe to say that the closest I will come to fitting these would be putting them in my cargohold to sell if I stumble across them. Maybe, maybe I would fit the torps for a pos grind, but only if we have absolute control of everything, with zero resists it would be stupid to do otherwise for such a meager dps increase. I think I would rather fit rapids and enjoy the dubious "fun" of a 35 second reload.

Possibly the blighted torp launcher will shine brighter once fozziebear gets around to "balancing" the rest of the missile launchers.

This is dumb, makes ganking even more op and that's about all.

Edit:
I could get behind long ranged versions of these, there is not enough sniping done in eve, i'm not saying it doesn't exist, but there is not enough.
