That would only work with a line of suicide weapons damaging your own ship, instead of just reducing the resists.

But I like "forbidden". "Forlorn", "Forgotten" are also nice sounding descriptions.

Didn't the Jove have some issue with some blight or something?

Ok, the Jove are not a plant...

Doesn't want argument about numbers. Instead gets argument about word connotations.

stats wont be available until tomorrow when they go live on the sisi.

12.3 second RoF, same fitting as T2

There is "spending ISK" and "spending ISK stupidly".

Sure, people will spend ISK on Taloses because of their ability to deal tons of DPS.

Do you see many people spending ISK on Vindicators for suicide-ganking purposes ?

Also, CCP :

I've seen the database logs for Blighted Autocannons : Pastebin

I assume that those values are correct, but I'll check tomorrow on SiSi.

Based on those values, I can assure you Blighted weapons are 100% useless.

Unless you severely upgrade the damage/ROF boost and reverse the nerfs to range and tracking, those weapons won't be used at all.

Honestly, trash the idea completely, I don't see anything good coming out of this.

Instead run a quick script on Faction weapons :

Now affected by specialisation skills

Can now use T2 ammo

Now drop in stacks of X (They are atrociously expensive, too expensive to be used even if they become slightly superior to T2 weapons). X could be 4-5-6, I don't know.

I like the name 'Overcharged'. Since that's how I think I would view it on my ship. It is over powered, and damages my ship when used.

Some thoughts after looking at this set of weapons.

This is what we have:

A. 5-15% dps increase and reduction in tank by 75%.

B. No long-range turrets. reduced optimal range compared to t2 variants.

Expected Outcome:

These weapons will be limited to very small-scale, (probably solo gank with falcon alt) fights, and for wolf-rayet wormholes.

No resists means you either roll with overwhelming ewar like jams or tracking disrupts, or you outrun drones and tracking (web daredevil, garmur or something).

Drones are a huge threat to a ship that has no resists, and almost no cruiser can outrun a flight of lights, and every cruiser can fit a flight of drones, so anything that is cruiser+ or has drones will not be a good target for these weapons.

Will probably be limited to frigate-sized FW, where tank matters less then speed and agility, and to sabre-falcon bubble camps in null.

Will probably be nice on gank destroyers coming in as a second wave as well. Key is not to get primaried.

Torpedo launchers on bombers might see some use. a little bit extra dps, not too bad.

In C6 wolf-rayets a normal catalyst pushes 1400 dps. with new weapons, and heat, it will push 2200 dps. Nice toy.

EDIT - a rook might do well vs. cruiser hulls 1v1. It doesnt really need tank and extra dps on the HAMS helps.


My thoughts:

5-15% dps increase is not enough. make it 25-50%. then it will be interesting. otherwise, this is a niche wormhole toy. Also, add long-range weaponry. As it is, this is for brawls and close-range fights where you NEED resists; but idea is more suited for snipers.

You have it wrong way around i think; these close-range weapons should do LESS dps, and GIVE some resists to a ship, rather then the other way around. Its long-range weapons that should do more dps and take resists.

I am sure that will make the large Norse Eve community happy.

Turning a 100mil thorax into 100mil + xx mil * 5 (maybe up to 80 mil a pop?) for 8% more DPS is not something you'd do unless you are sleeping with the loot fairy and catch at least 10 plexes per gank.
