Diplomat Mortar

Information
The third unlocked weapon type, Diplomat Mortars are very slow to fire, but have a very high damage to weight ratio. Best described as 'one shot only', it's unlikely a Diplomat Mortar will get in many shots before the end of a battle. They are described as "high-arching explosive mortars". They are probably best used while the enemy is in pursuit and you are "running away," also known as "kiting".

Eventually, around L50 or so, a player will want to use D73-X mortars against fleets and forget they even heard of (nearly useless) Diplomats.
