Given they seem to require 'thermonuclear charges' to build, I think 'irradiated' might be better than 'blighted' :)
The damage increase isn't exactly awe inspiring, given the vulnerability of ships fitting these things. A base thorax went from 278 to 309 dps. You can use layering membranes, plates, shield extenders etc to counter the effect to some degree so perhaps this has been taken into account. In this case, the degree of damage increase is kinda 'meh' and these strike me as being quite gimmicky, especially given the high price ccp have spoken about. Very niche. They seem to be quite functional on sisi.

The whole idea is flawed from start. And would be useful ONLY for blasters shooting structures.
I have to agree with this. I can see what you're going for, but I don't think it's a productive use of time when there are so many other things to work on.

Okay, so a t1 ship using these things (you'd be crazy to put them on a t2) does slightly more damage, and can take slightly less damage (assuming you're using HP increasing mods to make up for the lack of resists).
In a 1v1, the overall effect is going to be very similar to non-blighted weapons, given you will do more damage but effectively take more as well. And no damage control either (ouch!) while costing 10x as much as normal weapons? 100x?
Since 1v1's are rare, let's look at fleet fights. Null fleets rarely (if ever) use close range weapons given the distances involved, so these new weapons aren't made for them unless your blighted fleet is Jump Portal'd onto the target at close range. So, I guess they're made for lowsec use? War targets in HS? Definitely restricted in usefulness as far as I can tell.

Best idea I've heard yet.
