==Tactics==

In missions, the Rupture can mount a good active armour tank or regenerating passive shield tank and use artillery and drones to destroy rats at long range. The Rupture can launch a full flight of five light drones with space for a few spares, or a mixed-size flight of mediums and lights, which will be a new feature for pilots stepping up from PvE ~~in Minmatar destroyers; new pilots might want to be aiming to train Drones V at around this point, as drones add useful DPS and are a feature of almost all larger ships.~~

'''PvE'''

The Rupture is also a reliable PvP ship~~. A number of fittings work well~~. A simple and viable approach is to fit a buffer ~~armor~~ tank and provide extra DPS and some sticky secondary tackle in fleet situations. A buffer shield tank produces a faster, more tactically-flexible ship with space for speed- and damage-boosting modules in its low slots, ~~though~~ the [[Stabber]], with its falloff range bonus, is the archetypal T1 Minmatar kiting cruiser.

In Level 2 missions, the Rupture can mount a good active armour tank or regenerating passive shield tank and use artillery and drones to destroy rats at long range. The Rupture can launch a full flight of five light drones with space for a few spares, or a mixed-size flight of mediums and lights, which will be a new feature for pilots stepping up from PvE in Minmatar destroyers.

'''PvP'''

The Rupture is also a reliable PvP ship. A simple and viable approach is to fit a buffer armour tank and autocannon, and provide extra DPS and some sticky secondary tackle in fleet situations. Armour-tanked autocannon Ruptures also synergize well with armour [[logistics]] support, and crop up frequently as one option in "brawling" [[doctrines]].

A buffer shield tank produces a faster, more tactically-flexible ship with space for speed- and damage-boosting modules in its low slots. A shield-tanked Rupture has strong DPS and a bit more ability to choose its fights. On the other hand, the ship has fewer mid slots, and so a shield tank usually means fewer effective hitpoints than an armour tank, and requires compromises on other utility modules. The [[Stabber]], with its falloff range bonus and higher base speed, is the archetypal Tech 1 Minmatar kiting cruiser.
