Advanced CCU Guide (Watch Basic First)

[@KalisaFox]

this is the real star citizen gameplay, i feel i spend more time doing ccu chains then actually playing these days XD

[@essentialasa]

I think what we really need is a guide on how to plan a ccu chain ahead of time

[@billionaireninjas]

Explain in more detail!

[@vakeervondelecruax8526]

I think a tracking sheet combined with reviewing past WBs. I went through the ccu games price history of ships working back from my target ship and plotted out the jumps on a Google sheet. This way I knew which WB offers to skip and which ones to buy.

[@billionaireninjas]

That's a good way to think about it. Maybe I'll just do a whole video on CCU game app.

[@pokV2]

Thanks for putting this up after IAE!

[@TonicCantaloupe]

It was actually your CCU guides that got me thinking about the possibility of doing chains!

[@matthewward2451]

Amazing explanation. This one covers everything missing plus extra information that help a lot from your original CCU video. You hit it out of the park with this one. I wish I had known some of this information when I started CCUing.

[@misterspiff7288]

Some people call the CCU system "predatory". But that's an overly cynical view. It's really a blessing or a reward to long term backers. This is a way for long term supporters to lock in good prices for ships that we are likely to want in the future. If you know you are a fan of the end vision for this game, then you can save a huge amount of money in the end.

[@clearlyblewit9217]

Comprehensive and just what I needed thanks!

[@2panzur]

Patience is key. Having a little stashed Store Cred, to temporarily hold some gap fillers just in case but never applied.

[@sbdyson]

This was really needed. Not a lot of good CCU guides around, especially advanced ones that actually show spreadsheets.

[@Autocarma0711]

Thanks for the Vids, i started investing in CCUs again after about 4 years

[@MrAeandir]

i missed this vid. Glad i found it.

[@pazdounce1723]

this was very helpful! thnx man. now i have an Ironclad assault for $350

[@johnnymclemore8255]

Excellent video, I am just getting into the CCU game and this will be super beneficial to citizens like me!

[@otterized8332]

Thanks for the help!

[@Bo884DigitaL]

Saved $345 on this IAE, thanks for the info o7

[@nonleft96]

Oh thank you so much for this!

[@Uboo]

Great Video

[@b22blackeagle20]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@thespacemonkey1000]

Thank you for this!

[@thehalfyoung]

great explanation!

[@Captiveyeti]

The loaner ship list is a good thing to look at while waiting for ccu chains.

[@offsetstudio5673]

Appreciate the guide

[@PelenTan]

Excellent video.

[@damonddannaldson4677]

Great video and explanation. I agree with the comment, I play this game as much as the normal one lol

[@nednetherlander539]

good stuff. thanks for the info.

[@a01-x6]

Very informative video !!

[@Ewokichka]

Great video, you can also pick up CCUs on speculative price increases ($5 now/today for more gain later if the 'to' ship gets a price increase)

[@strider_3029]

I wish I had known more of this during the pirate week and cargo sale - glad I knew it in time for IAE 😁

[@xahu9444]

thank you for the tutorial

[@Fanmezia]

Good stuff as always!

[@ryanmurphy375]

thanks for the info really helpful to clear up any confusion with the ccu game ;p

[@joace9970]

Star Citizen, the game within the game. Fun in its own way if you spend wisely.

[@TheWartimeCEO]

I like learning about the CCU game, not going to use it as I plan to grind my way in game but still useful to learn. Thanks

[@FoxDim972]

I'm glad to see that i kinda have good strategy myself for ccu game! 😎

[@antzaeh9525]

True end game of this game.

[@lagghacks711]

Great Guide, but I hate waiting

[@manegrmusa4551]

great video..helpfull

[@David-82]

So I need an excel sheet to figure this out.😂 I bought a Carrack to Perseus CCU and the Prowler to 600i CCU... So it's something to start with. I got the Reclaimer down to my cost of $280 (with LTI) from $400 not the words best by all means but decent savings. My biggest problem is I want to see the damn ship icon in my hanger not the stupid pulse bike 😂

[@billionaireninjas]

There is an app for that! Look up star citizen xplorer for chrome.

[@XxFlashpointxX1]

A strange addiction CCU chaining is lol

[@Sicon1976]

nice tips

[@stuffedavocado117]

Dooood you’re freaking awesome thanks for breaking these down for us autismos 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[@skelpie]

Huge video, maybe in another video you could go over how to pick up ccu's ahead of time and predict future ccu's

[@SandChimera]

Always make sure that CCUs with a ship that will increase in value is the one you are upgrading to. Doing a TAC to a Gemini will be upside down when the TAC releases at a higher price.

[@oldschoolonline8871]

Perseus for the win!

[@Pyrilium1043]

The real challenge is fighting the CIG marketing team in predicting future links.

[@nachtfalke1146]

thanks for this

[@DrunkenCitizen]

Yay I've been doing it correctly for years now 😊. Careful people. This is probably the most addictive part of Star citizen.

[@rhyleepope1953]

Gotta ccu when it comes to large ships

[@TedManAte]

Slid into that finish line for IAE. 😂

[@Ristal306]

It was great to save some money with the CCU game this IAE but it also got me to spend more for speculation on what might make a good chain.

[@dekulruno]

This is the trick. But if you planned on buying more ships in the future anyway it is worth it

[@THExLURKER]

You are a "MACHINE" when it comes to producing good quality videos. Where do you find the time to sleep and play STAR CITIZEN ?

[@Sangvinivs]

My fleet is pretty much done, I save around 65% on every single ship. Was a long way for a normal backer like me.

[@Storm-Cleaver]

Without CCUs, my fleet would be nowhere near what it is today. Spending $5-10 per month, and $20-30 on CCUs during events, and $30-50 when a new ship comes out is comparable to any other MMO I play. But I never would have dropped $200+ at once. Which is most of my ships today.

[@hardybi4545]

id recommend spending ur credit first then go with cash so it saves more than the wbccus

[@Jahru]

good chains take a lot of time. Also my best savings come from price increases an not WB CCUs, but it not that easy to predict those and you have to follow the development closely for hints. Problem is that it is addictive ;-)

[@gamma0308]

Thanks for this Guide. Sadly its after the IAE :D

[@billionaireninjas]

Nope it was right at the end... You're just seeing after IAE lol

[@LoafaMilk]

Got a bunch of CCU chains from this IAE and idek what ships I’m gonna use them for, saved some money on my odyssey chain but I have a ton left over so

[@zarlorz]

I find it much easier to just use ccugame instead of a spreadsheet, but effectively it does the same thing. One big tip I missed early on was that on the Upgrade page on the CIG website is to notice it defaults to a view of ships in your hangar, but you don't need to only see that, you can change the little circle next to it for All Ships so you can get warbonds and the like all for ships you don't even own yet. You get gaps, but that's fine, you don't need to have the upgrade all in place from the lowest ship you own all the way to what you want to get. Also what about the end of the chain? Some of this has to do with speculation, especially for ships that have limited time scales (only available at IAE or Invictus, for example). Is it worth it to just get some, let's say no warbond is available, closest upgrade to the ship you want just to try to lock in that price since they often just go up?

[@billionaireninjas]

Yes lock in the price of the To ship first and if a better deal arises switch to the better deal.

[@Sharksader]

I hope I win the Perseus. Maybe I'll be able to do the CCU chain then, haha

[@scintilion]

The frustrating thing is that CIG can increase the price of your anchor ship and void the CCU and possibly wreck your chain.

[@jch1386]

I managed to snag several "speculative" CCUs that is holding up a maaassive chunk of my credit

[@STRFDR]

hardest part of this is waiting for the ccu's and not finishing them. I always worry about ships going up in price and ruining my chains -_-

[@leonidascarranza7893]

hey! Right now many ships cannot be bought, C2, Caterpillar and many more, you know why?

[@vakeervondelecruax8526]

How come the ccu game app is not mentioned? Also, concept speculations?

[@billionaireninjas]

I think I'll teach the old school way and when people find the CCUgame app tool they can use that as well. I dont want that to be the crutch people start on until they understand the game.

[@VillainbyDefault]

I have no patience I over spent

[@Trampus10-4]

My insurance is showing the original 6 months from original and also the 120 months from upgrade. 126 months total.

[@redsamurai6586]

Great way to put it in DEF too bad it’s slowly fading out 😅

[@VANKLAB]

Wait are you saying the actual game is a spreadsheet?

[@billionaireninjas]

Lmao no just showing folks how to save money

[@VANKLAB]

I joke. You should see my spreadsheets doing the same thing. At some point all game optimizations end up in spreadsheets for me.

[@liamcrampsie7757]

can't wait to burn my money on this

[@matteosiefert846]

This is getting out of hand my man 😂
