They appeared today in game, did I miss some devblog or something explaining why they are ingame and for what purpose?

Test server thread on polarised weapons.

Were also mentioned in the Pheobe patch notes but I don't believe they went into any great detail.


Edit: Curses Gawain, you beat me to it while I was looking for links.

The closest to a devblog I've seen on the issue was the announcement on EVE Vegas. The short and sweet of it is, that they're supposed to be niche glass cannons and that is pretty much it. They're part of CCPs effort to introduce new features, where the end results are harder to predict exactly before the feature even hits TQ.

"Polarized Weaponry is now available (Tech II variant).
There are 12 modules in total. Four small, four medium, and four large sized modules."

So yea, I did read them, this however doesn't explain why those weapons are added in game, whats their story, why do they exist. etc...

Does there have to be a specific reason?
Can't they add new tools for players to toy around with for any other reason than amusement?
