Bronson Hughes The Knights of the Blessed Mother of Acceleration 593	Posted - 2014.10.23 14:10:25 - [1] - Quote Mike Azariah wrote: For an exercise in patterns have you looked at all the changes announced in Vegas as a whole? Tug class of ship, probably used to move bling incursion runners T3 destroyers that can be fit for offense on the fly Berserker Class weapons to maximize alpha hmmm m This. I tend to agree that the DPS increases seen hardly justify the loss of resists, but let's wait and see what else CCP is releasing with them. I'm especially curious to see what kind of interplay there is between the Blighted Weapons and the new T3 Destroyers. Who knows...maybe these T3 hulls will be able to fit cruiser-sized or battleship-sized Blighted Weapons. Imagine the DPS of an overheated Talos...on a destroyer hull. Now wouldn't that be interesting.... CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking. Reading Comprehension: so important it deserves it's own skillbook. I want to create content, not become content.

Sure, existing ships can use them but with a massive penalty. I think the ticket is going to be T3 Destroyers and Blighted Weapons. I'd wager that the former will have some sort of role bonus in at least one of it's configurations disabling the heavy penalty of the latter. CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking.

You get Pulse laser of this variant. It stilld oes LESS.. and a LOT LESS damage than a NORMAL blaster. So WHY IN HELL woudl you do that? Why not just use a normal blaster and KEEP your resists? Not only this proposal is an extreme niche target.. it also has an extremely niche envelope.. ONLY BLASTERS on structures. NOthing else.... Blasters use ammo? I dunno about you, but I much prefer using lasers for structure grinds if the target resist profile allows it. And I say this being able to use T2 large hybrids but not T2 large lasers.

Bronson Hughes The Knights of the Blessed Mother of Acceleration 596	Posted - 2014.10.23 18:44:51 - [5] - Quote Cant tell Ifserious wrote: The use of these weapons on existing ships with their current stats and price can't be justified. You sacrifice: Lots of ISK, all of your tank, 25% optimal, 50% falloff You gain: ~15% DPS, ~10% tracking You can't brawl because 0 tank You can't kite because crappy range You can't snipe effectively because crappy range You can't gank because high price so whats the catch? Also the name should be "HYPER" 800mm auto cannon .....etc imo Fixed that for you. I'd suggest waiting until we see that these T3 destroyers bring before passing final judgement. Maybe they have bonuses cancelling the penalty of these weapons? If that's the case, they'd be awesome. CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking.

Bombers and Attack Battlecruisers can use over-sized weapons, so there is some precedent for it. Honestly, I'm really just hoping that they're for use with the T3 destroyers because they seem so underwhelming on their own. CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking.

Bronson Hughes The Knights of the Blessed Mother of Acceleration 602	Posted - 2014.10.24 17:07:24 - [7] - Quote Regarding my thoughts on Blighted Weapons and T3 Destroyers: I really have no evidence to back my thoughts that the two were meant to be coupled other than the timing of their release. Mostly, its driven by a desire to believe that CCP isn't so completely far gone that they would introduce something so remarkably underwhelming without some way to actually take advantage of it.

Bronson Hughes The Knights of the Blessed Mother of Acceleration 607	Posted - 2014.10.27 17:29:49 - [9] - Quote So, you went from a name that people complained had serious WoW/fantasy overtones to a name that has serious religious/martyrdom overtones? Okay. Why not name them after something that has to do with, you know, weapons? Were you going for "astigmatism", as in poor eyesight, instead of "stigmata"? That kind of makes sense given the ranges involved with these weapons, but there is pretty much zero imagery with enhanced combat ability inherent with poor eyesight. Unless there is a deep, underlying connecting to some upcoming piece of lore, I am seriously losing faith in CCP's basic creative processes. Given the lack of an obvious connection between the terms "blighted" and "stigmatic", I can't see this being the case. CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking.

Considering how polarizing these weapons are even before their release, this name fits perfectly. Thanks CCP! CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking.

Bronson Hughes The Knights of the Blessed Mother of Acceleration 664	Posted - 2014.11.03 16:46:52 - [12] - Quote Here's another semi-random thought I had whilst trying to make sense of these weapons: what if CCP is releasing these weapons in advance of some kind of new content in which incoming damage already ignores your resists? That would make these weapons relatively useful, assuming you could get into range. CCP Falcon's thoughts on suicide ganking. Reading Comprehension: so important it deserves it's own skillbook.
