The key to the Rupture though is its volley damage or “Alpha Strike”. Like the Artillery Thrashers, The Rupture specializes in delivering huge (up to 2.5k) damage in a single blow, immediately deleting an opponent from the field. The step up to Medium weapons for the Rupture vs the Thrasher, means that it is able to project that alpha strike out to much higher ranges, up to | The key to the Rupture though is its volley damage or “Alpha Strike”.

With a decent speed, low tank, and high volley damage at long range, the Arty Rupture is a natural skirmish cruiser, in a similar manner to the BLAP Caracal. While it is more than capable of using shorter range ammunition to gank outnumbered targets up close, in fleet vs fleet combat it is best used to warp in at range, alpha a few targets off the field, then disengage before the main bulk of a fleet can get on top of you | With a decent speed, low tank, and high volley damage at long range, the Arty Rupture is a natural skirmish cruiser, in a similar manner to the BLAP Caracal.
