In the video, Menx demonstrates how to use the Impound, a third-party service, to purchase Star Citizen ships and upgrades that are not available on the official RSI store, successfully acquiring an Ironclad and unlocking a Caterpillar loaner ship. He highlights the quick process, offers a discount code, and encourages viewers to try the service while teasing future giveaways and community events.
In this video, Menx addresses a common problem Star Citizen players face: how to obtain ships that are not currently available for sale on the official RSI website. He uses his own journey as an example, explaining his goal to acquire an Ironclad and ultimately a Caterpillar ship for his gameplay and content creation. Since he lacked enough in-game credits and some necessary upgrade paths were unavailable in the store, he sought an alternative method to complete his ship upgrade chain.
Menx introduces the Impound, a third-party service affiliated with his channel, which allows players to purchase ship upgrades and ships that aren’t available on the official RSI store. He demonstrates how he used the Impound to buy specific upgrades, such as the Valkyrie to Reclaimer and the Starancer Max to Warden, which were otherwise unobtainable. He walks through the process of finding these upgrades on the Impound site, applying a discount code, and completing the purchase.
The video details the quick turnaround time for receiving these upgrades, with Menx showing how he received an email gift notification within minutes and successfully claimed the upgrades in his RSI account. He then proceeds to apply the purchased upgrades step-by-step through his CCU (Cross-Chassis Upgrade) chain, moving from one ship to the next until he finally obtains the Ironclad. This method allows him to bypass the unavailability issues on the official store.
Once the Ironclad is acquired, Menx logs into the game and confirms that he now has access to the Caterpillar as a loaner ship, fulfilling his original goal. He also mentions that he retains the ability to revert back to previous ships in his upgrade chain if needed, giving him flexibility in his fleet. Menx expresses excitement about using the Caterpillar for larger cargo missions and plans to explore more gameplay content with it.
Towards the end, Menx encourages viewers to try the Impound service using the affiliate link in the description to get a 3% discount. He also hints at future giveaways of ships courtesy of the Impound and plans to host events around those giveaways. He wraps up by inviting viewers to like, subscribe, and share their experiences and thoughts in the comments, fostering community engagement around ship upgrades and the Impound platform.
