Hi pilots, The new weapons as teased at EVE Vegas 2014 for the Pheobe release in November. There are twelve weapons in total, and I have seeded these on the Singularity market. We are eager to hear feedback on these weapons, so please try them out.
After fitting, you will notice all your resistances will drop to 0%. Here is a quick list of the 12 modules so you can search on the market.
Small Sized Blighted Small Pulse Laser Blighted Light Neutron Blaster Blighted 200mm AutoCannon Blighted Rocket Launcher
Medium Sized Blighted Heavy Pulse Laser Blighted Heavy Neutron Laser Blighted 425mm AutoCannon Blighted Heavy Assault Missile Launcher
Large Sized Blighted Mega Pulse Laser Blighted Neutron Blaster Cannon Blighted 800mm Repeating Cannon Blighted Torpedo Launcher

What Kind of bonuses they provide ? +30 alpha ? Rof ? Omni dmg ?
We want you to try them out on Singularity as this is for feedback from the test server. If we were to write the numbers down, it would turn into just a number-crunching feedback post instead of people actually trying them out in game.

I'm asking this only because I'm interested in words generally, and am likewise interested in the strong reaction to "blighted".
(Disclaimer: I have no skin in this name game, am not participating in the discussion that Paradox describes, I have no influence one way or the other over how items are named, and I don't feel strongly one way or the other about "blighted".)
Blight is a word used IRL mostly to describe plant disease, and secondarily as a general description for something that has been spoiled or damaged. What about it gives you such a strong "fantasy RPG" feeling? Is it the Undead Warcraft 3 sprawl thing?

It's the normal naming convention in fantasy literature and games, rarely used in sci-fi due to people usually connecting blight to plague, famine and disease. Even though many sci-fi writers (and tv series) drop the "Blight of the mankind" all the time, it's usually connected to loss, failure and death. It's not a bad word, just not really used in sci-fi, more in fantasy and high fantasy.
I think "Normal" might be the wrong word, but maybe "natural" might suit better? Doing some research I've dug up a few references to blight. We've got a location in The Wheel of Time series, a location in Worlds of the Imperium, some malfunctioning terraforming microbes, a T.E.S. disease, an alien race in DC comics, a Transformer, a baddy in seminal cartoon classic "Captain Planet" and of course the aforementioned WC3. This is around a 50/50 split to 75/25 split of fantasy/scifi, depending on your definitions of them both I guess. This leads me to draw the conclusion that it's a word that people think is cool, maybe even quite badass, despite its most common usage to be to describe bad potatoes

Just to reassure you we're still here.
The naming convention is being looked at, when we have a good candidate we will update the thread with that info.
And the stats are being looked into also, to balance the risk and make them a bit more interesting. Again when the next stats come up, I will get CCP SoniClover to drop a post.
I am also seeding them as they currently are on Singularity now. Please give them a try, and keep in mind some more changes are coming.
Thanks for the feedback, it's all good. Hope to get something updated to you shortly.

They won't be accessible on launch day, but will be shortly after. I am about to create a new thread on the forum about the new exploration site that you will be finding these weapons in.
The exploration site was delayed, but we are now ready to get feedback on it before we launch with it.
