CCP as most people are saying naming needs some work's just not "spacey" enough, how about naming them "Catalysed" weapons rather than Blighted |

My reply may be a bit snarky, but I have a very real concern here. For the love of god, hire someone who can come up with Sci-Fi names. Or make your naming person stop playing WoW. I agree, blighted sounds horribly like WoW, Diablo or whatever fantasy theme.
I'll throw in "Resistance flux " as it matches the other "flux" items that reduce something to improve something else. |

Do these drop total resists or just base resists to 0%? |

Given how it was worded in the original post, I'm going to say it sounds very strongly like your resistances are fixed at 0% and cannot be increased. |

Risky Dubious ..and given the rarity, drawbacks and probable small bonuses... Pointless.
But ya never know. :)
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

Obviously the name is a setup for future Sleeper lore.
Clearly Sleepers are Space Warlocks, casting curses to protect their tech. Why else would the guns drop your resists?
If you have a high level Paladin with the right skills, you can remove the negative attributes. |

hm torpedo launcher, are you sure that this is balanced with stealthbombers?
i mean stealthbomber are glass cannons itself. you dont realy "fight" someone, you make sure that in one or another way your target wont be able to shoot back. so a weapon that raises damage at cost of defense would in the case of stealthbomber just raise damage. |

Seems fine to me. a single light drone could prob kill a stealth bomber in less than 20secs with 0% tank. |

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?

I'm assuming you guys didn't create any long range versions of these weapons because you think that would be too powerful? |

Dropping in as well to say that the current name is a little odd, I much prefer the older style names like Prototype, Scout, Upgraded etc.

I never heard blight used in a technical (or a non human/fleshy) 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. |

Lol, ok I just made my post above without reading any of the thread, which would indicate that it is not people jumping on the bandwagon, but a gut reaction to the name. I am from the UK myself, so perhaps this is something isolated to English speaking countries, as blighted conjurs up warhammer, world of Warcraft, and countless other fantasy RPGs to me. That doesn't fit into eve to me. |

It's jarring next to this type of SciFi for me. It's reminiscent of corruption, demonic or something supernatural (perhaps too much time spent in the WH40k universe). Potentially Event Horizon-ish
It would be different if such a concept of demons/corruption/unclean-ness existed already in EVE - but it's not there.
Something else that might work is "forbidden" as in, old outlawed tech. But I still like my original idea better |
