Since i been flying my blasterrax for a while i grown to like it. I couldnt do the lvl 3 in my rupture, but i could in my rax.
Any tips for lvl 3 rupture mission loadout?
Also, i just realized one advantage of projectile is they have ammo to meet every resistance type. blasters only fire basically kinetic and thermal damage... So thats one advantage probably required with projectiles, use the correct ammo.
The best setup I have seen on ruptures, and since I been flying them over a year I seen em all, is this in any situation :
4 Medium Particle Beams ( small named beams ) 1 malkuth heavy, 1 rocket /w defenders
1 Web, 1 t2 Medium Shield booster, 1 Large Shield Extender
4 named PDUs, 1 extruded heatsink
12 small drones
Sorry, but I have minmatar cruiser lvl5 and I refuse to not use those bonuses on projectiles.

I owned a Rupture myself. Had it for a long tmie, but ultimately lost it in combat in 0.1 against some sort of souped up black Vexors of the Serpentis order. Freakin' Vexor MWD'ed right up beneath my cannons and plastered me with blasters at close range. chewed the poor ship in record time.
I lost a Blackbird against a Rupture in PvP combat. I jammed him and he gave me FOF cruise missiles in return.
I also had a Stabber for a long time, actually well over a year of faithful service. But ultimately it met its face battling a Mercenary Commander, some kind of freakin NPC Caracal with heavy beams and spamming Thunderbolts. The Caracal was aided by NPC's on Tech 2 Merlins.

[setup snipped ..>8]
I don't mean to sound overly critical, but I don't think that setup would fair too well in 0.0 PvP. Almost every Rupture that I see being flown in 0.0 (and there are an absolute heap flown), are dual oversize AB/MWD, or a mix. It is probably one of the more common cruisers to see in 0.0, if not the most common. Blasteraxes are also around in numbers.

Questions, its been a while since I have flown one of these beasts. The first one was blown up in some sort of insurance scam...
1: Hvae med projectiles been hit as hard with the nerf bat as the large one have?
2: How are you PVP types scrambling your enemys? Is the optimal range of 650's with emp within 20km?
3: One set up I had was a short ranged rupture with 425's on it. That still viable?
4: Tracking... fit a low slot tracking mod or a medium one? Or do med turrets hit well enough already?

It kinda depend of ur skill but well i use that set-up :
3 720
2 heavy laucher
1 mwd 10
1 med shield booster
1 cap recharger
1 rcu
2 PD
2 tracking
If u got good skill in inge/elec (at lvl 5) u can go little better :
4 720
1 mwd
1 shield bosster
1 tracking comp
3rcu
the 2 last slot its up to u 1 gyro 1 cpr or 2 cpr/pd or ....

Ruptur are one of the best antifrigate cruisers around imo. 3 heavy luncher fited with Havoc heavys and 3 named small pulse Lasers are deadly for every frigate, even if not webbed. You can also kill cruiser and tackle BS. There is almost no role the Rupture is striped to. That makes it so great in each engagement.

1. Not really. Long range weapons all suffer the same DoT problems
2. For a cruiser a rupture is not a great EW platform :) And on the 650's it depends on ammo and skill. EMP and Ph. Plasma are yes.
3. Yes.
4. Depends on your loadout. Lower one may be better for pvp, upper on is ok for missions.

Well for those who were not paying attention, the projectile artillery was accidentaly double nerfed, and though CCP acknowledged the goof, they fixed all the other guns, but for some reason have/will not fix the projectiles.
For me, if im gonna use short range guns, I might as well fly a thorax. I don't see the rupture coming close to the thorax in close range combat.
I'm liking the distance setup. This is what I run now, but its still sickening all the mods I need for the guns to get busy
4x720 Howitzer
1x RL or assault with defenders
1x malkuth heavy
10mn AB
medium shield
tracking comp I
2x RCU
1x PDS
1x Gyrostabilizer
1x Tracking enhancer
works well if you can stay away, and uses the Rupy bonus. But it still sucks to need the stupid tracking comp...

Well heres my current setup for NPC hunting
1x 720mm Carbine
3x 720mm Arti I
1 heavy launcher
1 standard launcher (defenders)
Med
1 Cap recharger
10 mn Afterburner
1 Med Shield booster
Low
2 RCU
1 PDS
2 tracking/stabilsing mods
I noticed that in the info, the Carbine, Scout Arti and Prototype Siege cannon are all not as good as the market variety 720mm.
WTF is wrong with this...

yesterday i killed a NPC spawn in my Ruptur, just for fun and it rocks. I killed 1x1mil Harbringer and 2 support ceptors. Yes in my Rupture.
Also in PvP it PWNS all. Frigates and other cruiser. Ruptur is just great and has **** load of firepower, compared with speed and durability.

Not done any Mordu mission just yet. But how exactly do you mean problems? All I see missing is a 10mn MWD, and I need some more skills to fit that within the CPU/PG available.
I'm new to this, so bear with me.

Tried a Gankature  set up yesterday with 4x 425mm 'scout' and 5 gyro 2's - got a wrecking of about 350+ and a ROF around 1.5 secs  . Not sure how it would fair really though as no defence, but did much damage, may be ok for a 1v1 situation...
