*~~'''[[Skills:Spaceship Command#Minmatar Cruiser~~|Minmatar Cruiser~~]]'''~~ to ~~at least~~ IV ~~to properly take advantage of~~ the Rupture's ~~DPS buff that comes~~ with ~~every extra~~ level ~~in the~~ skill.

*~~'''~~[[Skills:Gunnery#~~Gunnery~~|Gunnery V]]~~'''~~, ~~'''[[Skills:Gunnery#Medium Projectile Turret~~|~~Medium Projectile Turret V]]''' and '''[[Skills:Gunnery#Medium Autocannon Specialization~~|~~Medium Autocannon Specialization]]'''/'''[[Skills:Gunnery#Medium Artillery Specialization|Medium Artillery Specialization]]''' trained to at least I~~ to ~~fit T2 guns~~, ~~which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than the meta 4 variants, along with the ability~~ to ~~use T2 ammo types~~.

As a Tech 1 cruiser and one of the first steps that new players take out of small ships into medium-sized hulls, the Rupture is relatively forgiving, and can perform adequately in undemanding roles with limited character skills. Players can get much more out of the Rupture with better skills, however. Some basic skills to focus on in the short term for new pilots are:

*~~'''~~[[~~Skills:Gunnery#Rapid_Firing|Rapid Firing~~]]~~''', '''[[Skills~~:~~Gunnery#Surgical_Strike|Surgical Strike]]''', skills which increase DPS~~ and ~~are thus vital to all turret-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV~~.

*~~Along with~~ the ~~obvious '''[[Skills:Engineering#Power Grid Management|Power Grid Management]]''' and '''[[Skills:Engineering#CPU Management|CPU Management]]''' fitting skills required for fitting most ships~~, ~~'''[[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades~~|~~Weapon Upgrades]]''' and '''[[Skills:Engineering#Advanced Weapon Upgrades|Advanced Weapon Upgrades]]''' should be trained~~ to V ~~and~~ at least ~~II respectively to help alleviate fitting problems associated with the ship's powergrid~~.

* {{sk|Minmatar Cruiser}} to IV: with two DPS bonuses, the Rupture's damage potential jumps dramatically with each level of this skill

*'''[[Skills:Gunnery#Sharpshooter|Sharpshooter]]''' is ~~important~~ for ~~artillery fitted Ruptures~~, ~~though due to autocannons' small optimals it isn't as important for autocannon fits~~.

* [[Skills:Gunnery#Support_Skills|Gunnery support skills]] to help turrets hit harder, shoot further &c. {{sk|Sharpshooter}} is less important for autocannon but still helps artillery. {{sk|Controlled Bursts}} is not relevant to projectile turrets, as they don't use capacitor to fire.

*'''[[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones V]], ~~[[Skills:Drones#Light Drone Operation|Light Drone Operation V]]~~, ~~[[Skills:Drones#Drone Interfacing|Drone Interfacing IV]]~~ and ~~[[Skills:Drones#Gallente Drone Operation|Gallente Drone Operation I]]/[[Skills:Drones#Minmatar Drone Operation|Minmatar Drone Operation I]]''' are all are important for getting as much DPS out of~~ the ~~30m<sup>3</sup> dronebay as possible.~~

* [[Fitting skills]]: squeezing everything onto a ship becomes more challenging as players move up to cruisers and unlock more advanced modules.

*The appropriate skills ~~required~~ for ~~fitting a '''[[Full T2 Tank|Full T2]]''' '''[[Full_T2_Tank#Armor_Tank|Armour]]''' or '''[[Full_T2_Tank#Shield_Tank|Shield]]''' '''[[Tank#Tank|Tank]]'''~~.

* In the Minmatar ship line, the step up to cruisers is the point at which pilots begin to have large enough drone bays to field a full flight of drones. This makes training {{sk|Drones}} to V an early priority, together with at least basic levels in drone support skills. Drones V is a relatively long train for a new character, but will be useful in many ships.

In the longer term, the Rupture, like many ships, will benefit from the skills necessary to fit Tech 2 tanking modules, and the skills necessary to fit Tech 2 autocannon and Tech 2 artillery pieces, unlocking Tech 2 ammo for more tactical flexibility.
