- | While we are more than happy to accept basic Nightmare fits into our fleet, we do this because we understand not everyone can invest heavily from the get go. We ask that if you fly with us often you upgrade your Nightmare to the Intermediate and/or Advanced fits as soon as you can. The Intermediate and Advanced fits makes you safer, more productive. It should be noted that people with Intermediate, and especially, Advanced Nightmares will often get in fleet faster than those with the basic Nightmares. | + | This is a comprehensive guide to upgrading from our __[[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Nightmare_(basic)|basic Nightmare]]__ or similar to the __[[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Nightmare_(advanced)|advanced Nightmare]]__ fit. |

It should be noted that while this prop mods stats look very similar to other prop mods in its class this one will give you substantially better cap life. | + | You should upgrade your microwarp drive. We recommend the **Core X-Type 500MN Microwarpdrive**, as it is one of the best. Although at first glance this looks very similar to other prop mods available, it can give you an extra capactior life on your cap hungry Nightmare. |

- | This is the most important part of the upgrade process and the part that if done wrong could prevent you from being invited to fleet for safety reasons. This is broken in to five sub sections. | + | The tank on your Nightmare is the most important upgrade you can make. If done incorrectly it could prevent you from being invited to fleet. |
