<WRAP center round todo 75%> This Page is a work in progress. Please be advised that data should not be considered current until approved by leadership and this notification has been removed <<date of last update>>. </WRAP> ======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. =====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: <WRAP group> <WRAP half column> **True Sansha Stasis Webifier** * -55% Maximum Velocity * 20km Range with boosts * With Maximum skills this web gets a 82.5% reduction in velocity. </WRAP> <WRAP half column> **Federation Navy Stasis Webifier** * -60% Maximum Velocity * 19km Range with boosts * With Maximum skills this web gets a 90% reduction in velocity. </WRAP> </WRAP> 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. =====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 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. - Add one of each of the following rigs: * **Large Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I** * **Large Hybrid Burst Aerator II** * //You are now flying with the advanced tank.// - 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> * Step One can be done by itself, the rest needs to be done in one go! * If you cannot afford faction modules for step four and five, T2 modules are accepted but should be upgraded ASAP. =====Bling for Joy, Bling for Goodness!===== 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. * 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.
