What have you used them for?
What ones and fitted and which ships?
How do do you like them?
Any wishes/hopes to have made about/to them?

Wasn't this "the gun" they announced April 1st?

Wait..what?

Blighted guns?!

Oh ****. Ive been searching holy ruins and fighting priest mobs looking for Stigmatic guns!

Great. Just ******* great. Now I'm going to need to find a demonic graveyard den.

Thanks CCP.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The name was changed to Polarized guns.

They don't drop often, but i know a few pirates that love glass cannons, and so have been trying to use them. Havn't heard how it went.

AKA the scientist.

Well fun is also good.

Short range no tank guns mean they cannot be used for brawling, cannot be used for sniping/kiting.
The mats to build them are too expensive for afk structure grinding, ergo useless!

I found absolutely no use for them.
Unless they had done something drastic like doubling damage output,
the universal-resist-negation and their current price makes them undesirable in almost any situation I could think of.

It's a bit like fitting a purple-circle on your ship. Not a huge improvement, but making you an easy target.

Someone brought a siege bomber with those to a bash, not sure if it made any difference, no one was bothered enough to check.

They're relatively useful on ewar ships (since the ewar is the whole of their tank anyway) but otherwise the average scenario where you could be relatively successful with them you'd already have won with a normal ship. Now if ccp had instead made them long ranged weapons with a range penalty they'd be highly desired items.

Also having said that modify minimum warpto to 250km to help make sniping actually useful.

Fantastic for structure grinding. Oracle with polarized guns = > 1400dps.

Stealth boomers are a grate place to stick them you have no tank any how and dps lots of it

The only major drawback is the crazed notion that the inventory would look so much better if merely rearranged ONE MORE TIME.

I would love to use them on slicers, but they're just too expensive to be worth it.
