    I'd like to propose command core update the optimal fitting to require faction remote cap transfers. The extra range is quite necessary with this cap hungry fit.  They will allow for more room for error when burning while capping in an NRF.  Almost every time today I was nearly out of cap while burning to the final anchor point in the NRF, even when pulsing my prop mod, slowing down, even announcing in NM chat that when to slow boat/burn (I was AAA most of the time I was flying my NM.) and never once did my cap buddy keep up with me. The extra range will allow for cap chains to be established faster and as people get used to the new fit, it will help keep the chain up while moving in the NRF. 
     

    I’ve noticed most of the time in NRFs that the newer nightmare pilots will be falling behind 30-40km at times during the burn to the 4th wave anchor, I don’t think the extra range on cap transfers would matter, i think that it’s just that pilots still need to get more experience especially on when to burn and anchor

    This will be just my thoughts on the nightmare cap chain and how new bros can more easily chain with there buddy

    General Tips for Newbros

    • First once you go into nightmare chat, scream for a cap buddy till they give you one.
    • Always talk with you cap buddy on when you'll be chaining, that's what nightmare chat is for.
    • Pulse your prop mod, this means MWD ON for 2 cycles, OFF for 5-6 seconds.
    • If it looks like you'll run out cap before you reach your buddy, broadcast for cap, I know people will scream at this, but even a few squirts of cap will be helpful.
    • Pilots who have a resebo fitted, only turn it on when you need it (to lock the mara), as it drains your cap unnecessarily.

    TPPH (True Power Provisional Headquarters)

    • Most nightmare pilots (including myself) have grown accustomed to not chaining in the first two rooms of the TPPH, although if you do feel like you don't have enough cap life to burn through two rooms, talk to your buddy in nightmare chat and start chaining once you are at the gate to the next room, this will help your cap significantly and will make the site much easier for you.
    • In the 3rd room of the TPPH you should have enough cap to establish the chain once you are anchored, do not try to chain while burning as there's the possibility of you drying yourself out unnecessarily.

    NRF (Nation Rebirth Facility)

    • The NRF is the trickiest site of all to cap chain in, ideally you would want to start the chain at the 1st anchor spot and keep it going, but that's really tricky even for experienced pilots, so what you need to focus on is again to chain up at the anchor spots.
    • If you feel like you don't have enough cap, stop shooting, lasers eat a butt load of cap and turning your guns off for a few cycles can help you regen some cap while burning, especially on the long burn to the 4th wave.

    TCRC (True Creations Research Centre)

    • This should be clear enough, burn to anchor, establish chain, PROFIT.

    Bonus Tips

    • Try to master the art of chaining while burning, this is very useful in NRFs, in order to pull this off you need an experienced pilot to be in the chain, in order to acomplish this, you will have to be very attentive, pay attention to where you cap buddy is, if they are falling behind turn off your prop mod for a few seconds and let them catch up. If done right, it will make your capacitor much happier.
    • Use drugs, Synth Mindflood Booster, which grants a capacitor modifier of 3%, is very helpful for all nightmare pilots, if you do have Neurotoxin Control IV you can use Standard Mindflood Booster, which grants a capacitor modifier of 10%.
