- | While we are more than happy to accept basic Vindicator fits into our fleet, we only 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 Vindicator to the Advanced fit as soon as you can. The advanced fit makes you safer, more productive, and helps with capacitor issues. It should be noted that people with advanced Vindicators will often get in fleet faster than those with the basic Vindicator. | + | <WRAP center round info 80%> |

+ | We understand that not everyone can invest heavily in their ship fits at the start of their incursion career, however upgrading your fit offers many rewards including; higher DPS for more isk per hour, less capacitor issues, and most importantly safer by upgrading your tank. | ||

- | Once you have a faction web you should get a Deadspace Micro Warp Drive. We recomend the **Core X-Type 500MN Microwarpdrive**, 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 can give you approximately an extra 60 seconds of capacitor life. A huge boost in a Vindicator. | + | Once you have a faction web, you should upgrade your microwarp drive. We recommend the **Core X-Type 500MN Microwarpdrive**, as it is one of the best.
