Why do minja get a bonus to caldari knives?

Why do the Caldari have a Gallente weapon?

Wut... are you talking about?

Think about it.
The Caldari favor long range, kinetic weapons that excel at damaging armor.
The Gallente favor close range, thermal (plasma) weapons that are good against shields.

Now read the description of Nova Knives. Please note: "A close-quarters melee weapon" and "It's name derives from the heated plasma edge of the blade". They are blades charged with plasma for extra cutting power and plasma is Gallente tech.
They are a close range weapon that uses thermal (plasma) to damage their foe. By all rights it should be a Gallente weapon, not a Caldari.

How do you own tech or natural phenomena? Just because a faction favors a technology doesn't mean others can't develop their own weapons/equipment using the same tech.

The Caldari were Gallenteans, and I'm surprised about how little Gallentean influence there is on Caldari design, weapons, etc..., infect it's the other way around which is puzzling.

I thought we agreed to never speak of this again! And just because someone invented the science behind a weapon doesn't mean the nova knives themselves are Gallente.

If you take something and replace all of its component parts, inclusive of purpose and perhaps even identity given enough time......is it really the same thing? If you take the railgun, replace all the Gallentean parts, replace it purpose from a weapon of the Gallente to that of the Caldari, and given enough time make its identity apart of caldari armed forces....... is it a Gallentean weapon?

The Caldari were never Gallenteans. They were a part of the Federation for awhile. That's all. Totally not Fizzer94's forum alt. Definitely just a random dude.
