In the video covering Day 2 of the Star Citizen Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2954, the host discusses the presence of Aegis Dynamics in the expo hall, highlighting that this year’s event is taking place in New Babbage and features a free fly option without referral requirements. The Aegis Idris and Aegis Javelin are available for limited-time purchases today, with the host providing an overview of the ship availability across different waves throughout the expo.
The host addresses viewer requests, specifically demonstrating a Warbond CCU (Cross-Chassis Upgrade) chain for the Banu Merchantman (BMM). They clarify that the BMM is not currently in development, with no timeline for its completion. The discussion revolves around how to realistically acquire the BMM through CCUs, starting from a $650 base price and potentially reducing it to around $285 by strategically using available CCUs. The host emphasizes the need for patience and careful planning, as the BMM’s future remains uncertain.
The video also touches on the upcoming Misk Day, where the host speculates that the Banu Merchantman may become available for a Warbond discount. They recommend acquiring certain ships and CCUs that are likely to be featured during the event, such as the Prowler and Reclaimer, as part of a broader strategy to maximize savings when purchasing higher-tier ships. The importance of timing and knowing the schedule for ship availability is highlighted throughout this segment.
Additionally, the host provides tips on navigating the Star Citizen store to find CCUs and ship upgrades more efficiently. They suggest going through the ship upgrades section in the hangar for a streamlined experience, as opposed to the more cumbersome pledge store interface. This practical advice aims to assist newcomers in making informed decisions when purchasing ships and upgrades.
Finally, the host discusses the current state of the CCU game, noting that while there are limited new Warbond CCUs available, there are several concept ships that could be worth considering. They analyze the potential of various ships, including the Nautilus and Odyssey, and provide insights into which CCUs might offer the best value. The video concludes with a reminder for viewers to participate in polls and engage with the content, while also encouraging them to stay informed about future updates and events in the Star Citizen universe.
