Resembling a cross between a brick and a rusty nailgun, the Rupture is the Minmatar Republic's heavy combat cruiser, and a popular ship for both mission running and PvP despite being quite sluggish for a Minmatar design. | Resembling a cross between a brick and a rusty nailgun, the Rupture is the Minmatar Republic's heavy combat cruiser, and a popular ship for both mission running and PvP despite being quite sluggish for a Minmatar design. | ||

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. | ||
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. | The Rupture is also a reliable PvP ship.
