The Rupture is slow for a Minmatar ship, but it more than makes up for it in power. The Rupture has superior firepower and is used by the Minmatar Republic both to defend space stations and other stationary objects and as part of massive attack formations. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The heavy duty combat cruiser of the Minmatar Republic, this ship looks like a chunk of brick. The Rupture is the favored mission cruiser for the Minmatar. It can mount a good active armour tank or regenerating passive shield tank (as below) and use artillery and drones to destroy mission rats from range. The Rupture is also a strong PvP ship. A number of fittings work well; in E-Uni fleets the most common approach is to fit an armour buffer tank (as below) and provide extra DPS and some sticky secondary tackle. Strong fitting skills and access to T2 autocannon (for kiting with Barrage ammo) open up some fast-moving shield-tanked PvP fits, which, oddly, work rather better in that role than the Stabber.

- Exchange the ammo as you wish. I recommend using faction EMP ammo, but there is not always isk for all that good stuff.
- Meta4 guns and launchers can be (very) expensive. Drop down as you desire in meta gear.
- You have about 18k EHP. If you have AWU trained to 5, and use standard light missile launchers then the last rig can be exchanged for another shield extender. This will boost you into 20k+ EHP.
- If the ship you are fighting is a battleship and the pilot has neuts fitted, stay around 30km. You will be fighting in the falloff of EMP ammo.
- If you are fighting a cruiser then it's neuting range is 12.5km. Stay around 15 to 17km. You'll be fighting in optimal and still have a point.
- This is a fleet setup. I would not recommend flying solo with it.

- Exchange the ammo as you wish. I recommend using faction EMP ammo, but there is not always isk for all that good stuff.
- Meta4 guns are expensive. Drop down as you desire in meta gear.
- You have about 18k EHP.
- Alternatively you can change the rigs to 3 "Medium Core Defense Field Extenders". This will bump your EHP into 21k.
- Watch out when using the MWD. You have a huge sig radius. Only use it to get in range.
- The two neuts are used in cap warfare. You can successfully empty a frigate with the medium neut and keep it disabled with the small one without your cap going down the drain. The same applies to cruisers, but it takes more time and skill. Even if you are neuted, your damage won't be gimped.
- You can use this setup in any fleet or solo. But keep in mind during solo flight; you don't have a way of dictating range.
