"Glass Cannons" Part 2: Blighted Weapons

As previewed in CCP Fozzie's section of the EVE Vegas keynote, "glass cannons" are coming to EVE. They've received their formal name, "Blighted" weapons, and have earned a dev post in the Test Server Feedback forum by CCP Paradox. Just as Fozzie promised, they're weapons with a bit more hitting power; in exchange, when fitted, they lower a ship's resistances to zero.

Seeded on SiSi as of today are twelve new modules, reproduced below. (Note: CCP is considering using a different descriptor than "Blighted".)

    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 Blaster
        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


Presently, as the weapons appear on SiSi, the consensus is that they likely won't be worth the price apart from a few edge cases.
