 ======Efficiently and Safely Upgrading Your Vindicator======
-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 alert 80%>
+As of November 15th, all Vindicator pilots are required to have a Faction Webifier (True Sansha's) or an alternative with equal or greater web range. To compensate for the velocity bonus loss, all Vindicator pilots should conciser training their Minmatar Battleship skill to level 4 ASAP, and level 5 when possible.
+While officer webs are acceptable on Vindicators, **THEY ARE NOT** Covered by SRP!
+</WRAP>
+This is a comprehensive guide to upgrading from our __[[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Vindicator_(basic)|basic Vindicator]]__ or smiliar to the __[[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Vindicator_(advanced)|advanced Vindicator]]__ fit.
+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.
-=====Guide Assumptions=====
-For this guide we assume you have our [[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Vindicator_(basic)|basic Vindicator fit]] or something similar. The goal is to get you into the [[fittings:hq_doctrines_and_ship_fittings#Vindicator_(advanced)|advanced Vindicator fit]]. //Please note if you already have a faction web and **Core X MWD** you can skip to [[guides:upgrading_your_vindicator#Switching_the_Tank|the Switching Your Tank section of this guide]].//
 =====Basic Steps=====
-You should start by getting a __faction stasis webifier__. They have better range and effectiveness than both T1 and T2 variants. You have two main choices:
+You should use a faction web as a Vindicator for increased range and effectiveness. Because of the change to fleet boosting mechanics, we will be loosing our web range bonus. As such all pilots should train Minmitar Battleship to level four or five. **True Sansha's Webifier** or a web with a greater range is required. Remember officer webs **ARE NOT** covered by SRP.

-  * With Maximum skills this web gets a 82.5% reduction in velocity.
+  * Maximum Velocity Bonus (Before Skills) -55%

-  * 19km Range with boosts
-  * With Maximum skills this web gets a 90% reduction in velocity.

-The web you choose is up to you! pick one to meet your style!
-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.
+The maximum velocity bonus is improved by your Minmatar Battleship skill and will be hugely effective at Level IV/V.
+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. Although at first glance this looks very simliar to other prop mods available, it can give you an extra 60 seconds of capactior life to a cap hungry Vindicator
 =====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.
+The tank on your Vindicator is the most important upgrade you can make. If done incorrectly it could prevent you from being invited to fleet.
+Step 1 can be done by itself, however, the 2-5 **must be completed at the same time**. If you cannot afford faction modules in steps 4 & 5, T2 modules are accepted but should be upgraded as soon as possible.
   - Get a single __Pith B or Pith A__ (depending on how much you choose to spend originally we recommend getting the **Pithum B-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field**. It is cheaper and is the minimum required invul for the advanced Vindicator fit.
   - Get a second __Pith B or Pith A__. When this is done you need to remove your **Pithum C-Type EM Ward Amplifier** and all of your rigs.

   - Fill your empty mid slot that is empty with a single **Shadow Serpentis Tracking Computer**
   - Remove your two **Tracking Enhancer II**s and replace them with two **Federation Navy Drone Damage Amplifier**s
-<wrap em>IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:</wrap>
+=====Bling for Joy, Bling for Goodness!=====
-  * Step One can be done by itself, the rest needs to be done in one go!
+At this stage you are considered an advanced tank Vindicator, you do more damage than you used to, but there is still more improvements you should make.
-  * If you cannot afford faction modules for step four and five, T2 modules are accepted but should be upgraded ASAP.
+  * 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 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 T1 blasters are acceptable, please work towards T2 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.  For more information on acceptable drone load outs please [[guides:drones#Vindicator|click here]].
