For all of you going "hurr, mortar can't be Gallente, lul, CCP, durr," what makes a mortar a mortar is it's high fire angle and low velocity of it's projectiles. A heavy weapon that fires big globs of plasma (like the PLC's projectile) in a high arc would be a mortar.
While "artillery" is the official designation of the Minmatar long-range weapon system in EVE, artillery is any sort of indirect support fire, which is not the exclusive domain of the Minmatar.

In fact, the Caldari have all their weapons now, don't they?
Their pistol
Thier SMG
Their Knife
Their Precison/Sniper weapon
Their Fine Rifle
Their Grenade
Their Light AV/Launcher
Their Heavy Weapon (CCP only have 1 planned per race atm)
Then they also have all their vehicles (of those types currently in the game)
And now they have all their dropsuits.
Not to mention 3 kinds of equipment.
And an MCC and dropoff ship/drone.
I'd say that the Caldari are done, everybody! Fully fleshed out! Congratulations to all our Caldari specialists. You guys got 1st place in the Race race!

Mortars fire indirectly making it artillery. And yeah it kind of is solely minmatar. I'm pretty sure there's no ships in gallente caldari or amarr that have a projectile bonus. Unless you count a pirate ship. I haven't gone through every description of every ship but none come to mind so artillery is actually solely minmatar. gallente use hybrid weapons or drones. Meaning rail or blaster. Dust giving caldari the only rail bonuses is an idiosyncrasy Someone correct me if you know a non minmatar ship with projectile bonuses.

Plus they need more missile weapons so gallente can use rails too
The laser rifle seems to be the Amarr's sniper/precision-class weapon, especially with the recent range and zoom buffs.
But yes, the Shotgun I left out. So perhaps the Caldari haven't won yet, but they're still leading the pack.

Oh my God, I just...I don't know what to say; you completely baffle me. You originally stated that the mortar can't be Gallente because it's artillery, and now you're claiming that it's "my logic."

Which is exactly what I said in my first post, miss.
