Omega Clone Fit
Based on what I've read online, the Scram Kite Rifter fit with rocket launcher was a thing even after the Rifter nerf so it may still be viable. I found a video from 2015 explaining the fit and showed some interesting fights
here. The fit in the video uses Rate of Fire rigs instead of Falloff rigs and this provides better DPS until about 5.2km in comparison. Falloff rigs provide about 10-15 more DPS at about 8km but by then the target will be out of scram range. Overall DPS is highly competitive at All 5s.
I think we should retain this as an advanced fit as there is still some activity on killboard that use this fit as well as the legacy neut/buffer fit.

- There is fitting room to adjust meta versions of Scram/Web
Alpha Clone Fits
Besides the FW fit the Rifter has mostly become a Fleet fighter that newer Minmatar players favor. Inspired by Neonen's fit the AC fit below boasts better dps, has a better tank to boot and still comes off as a cheap fit. Armor tank works well for a short range fighter as it needs to be able to lock down the target to apply well.

- Notes:
- Very Tight in terms of fitting even at Max Alpha Clone skils
- Can swap Warp Scrambler for an extra Webifier to free up CPU room if fleet composition allows it.
- Throwaway fit at 1.3M ISK
There are artillery fits out there but I'm not sure being able to do 500 volley is sufficient enough to plan Alpha Clone Alpha fleets. The DPS is lackluster when compared to the auto cannon fit otherwise.
