Currently, all races have their unique ammo types. Government-issued versions of those ammo types are superior, and prized in PvP.

However, hybrid ammo is issued by both Gallente and the Caldari, and there's no difference in the two except the name. The markets generally favor the Caldari navy ammunition with cheaper prices because there tends to be more Caldari mission runners.

Proposal: Grant each type of ammo a minor and unique bonus to differentiate the two.
- Federation Navy ammo gets a minor (<= 5%) bonus on tracking.
- Caldari Navy ammo gets a minor (<= 5%) bonus on optimal range.

Reasoning: A tracking bonus better suits the Federation approach of close-up blaster brawls. Optimal range bonuses support the Caldari approach of ranged combat. Variety is good.

I don't think hybrid ammo needs ruining like this.
