Rupture
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

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
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.
Skills
- 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.
- Gunnery V, Medium Projectile Turret V and Medium Autocannon 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.
- Rapid Firing, 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 Power Grid Management and CPU Management fitting skills required for fitting most ships, Weapon Upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V and at least II respectively to help alleviate fitting problems associated with the ship's powergrid.
- Sharpshooter is important for artillery fitted Ruptures, though due to autocannons' small optimals it isn't as important for autocannon fits.
- Drones V, Light Drone Operation V, Drone Interfacing IV and Gallente Drone Operation I/Minmatar Drone Operation I are all are important for getting as much DPS out of the 30m3 dronebay as possible.
- The appropriate skills required for fitting a Full T2 Armour or Shield Tank.
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.
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.
Notes
In Retribution Rupture lost one launcher/utility hardpoint and gained a midslot.
