======Efficiently and Safely Upgrading Your Machariel======
While we are more than happy to accept basic Machariel 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 Machariel 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 Machariels will often get in fleet faster than those with the basic Machariel.

=====Assumptions Made by the Author=====
For this guide we assume you have our [[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Machariel_(basic)|basic Machariel fit]] or something similar. The goal is to get you into the [[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Machariel_(advanced)|advanced Machariel fit]]. 


=====Basic Steps=====
You should start by get a Deadspace micro-warp drive. We recommend the **Core C-Type 500MN Micro-warpdrive** as the Machariel dose not typically have cap issues. But if you plan to switch your prop-mod between other battleships we recommend the **Core X-Type 500MN Micro-warpdrive**, it is as expensive as they come but it is also the best. 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.  
 
=====Switching the Tank=====
<wrap em>The switch from basic to advanced, pay special attention here!</wrap>

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.
  - Get a single __Pith C or Pith A__ (depending on how much you choose to spend originally we recommend getting the **Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field**. It is cheaper and is the minimum required invul for the advanced Machariel fit.
  - Get a second __Pith C or Pith A__. When this is done you need to remove your **Pithum C-Type EM Ward Amplifier** and all of your rigs.
  - Add one of each of the following rigs:
     * **Large Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I**
     * **Large Projectile Burst Aerator II**
     * //You are now flying with the intermediate/advanced tank.//
  - Fill your empty mid slot that is empty with a single **Shadow Serpentis Tracking Computer** (**Tracking Computer II** - Is acceptable on a temporary basis)
  <wrap em>IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:</wrap>
  * Step One can be done by itself, the rest needs to be done in one go!

=====Bling for Joy, Bling for Goodness!=====
At this stage you are considered an intermediate or advanced tank Machariel, you do more damage than you used to, but there is still more improvements you should make.

  * Replace any T2 damage and tracking modules with faction, they preform better, make you look more impressive and earn you better isk/hr.
  * If you have __Pith C or B invuls__, you should also aim to get __Pith As__ as fast as possible, they are very expensive but if you take full aggro they can save your life.

=====Final Things to work on.=====
While Tech one Lasers are acceptable, please work towards Tech Two guns as soon as possible. Please note any upgrades beyond this point in the fit are at your discretion we DO NOT however cover officer mods in our SRP program.
