eve gold plays an important role in the game. Now we get onto the fun part, the weaponry. You will probably want a rocket launcher along with three cannons. As for what size of cannons you go for it depends on what you intend to do in your Rifter. There are various sizes to choose from and a mixture can work well depending on your motion prediction skill, use 125mm if it is low and 200mm if it is high.
With your Rifter fitted out you will want to head straight into the action but you have to select your targets carefully. You can go up against most other frigates, mining barges and some cruisers but there are ships out there that will chew you up so take advantage of your speed if you get attacked by anything too big to handle.
The best way to attack is to get within range as fast as possible without being hit and then choose an orbit and speed round the target emptying your firepower into them. You will be able to hit targets at a decent range with projectile weapons so you can avoid laser fire by keeping your distance. You should also take advantage of your speed to stay out of the firing line.
