The video discusses the limited and disappointing state of the Invictus 2955 CCU system, highlighting the scarcity of available ships and the challenges in building effective upgrade chains due to the removal of older ships and lack of communication from developers. The speaker recommends focusing on versatile, frequently reappearing ships like the Vulture and Zeus CL for better long-term investment and urges viewers to act quickly while options remain available.
In the video, the speaker discusses the current state of the Invictus 2955 CCU (Customer Conversion Unit) game, highlighting that it has been disappointing, especially with limited options available. They focus on the Connie Taurus as a key ship for CCUs, noting that the game primarily offers only one $200 ship at the moment, making it difficult to build effective chains for upgrades. The speaker emphasizes that many of the older ships, particularly the Mark 1 variants of the Hornet and Wildfire, are no longer purchasable or CCU-able, as they have been removed from the store and are unlikely to return, which limits options for new players and chain-building.
The speaker introduces a helpful tool, CCUAME.app, which allows players to explore available CCUs and plan their upgrade chains. They review specific ships within the $175-$200 range, pointing out which ones are viable and which are not. For example, ships like the Freelancer MIS and Cutlass Blue are considered rare and not the best options, while ships like the Vulture and CL Retaliator are highlighted as strong choices due to their frequent appearances and discounts. The speaker stresses that building a chain depends not only on the discount but also on the likelihood of the ship returning for future CCUs, making some ships more strategic picks than others.
Throughout the video, the speaker expresses frustration with the current lack of CCU options and communication from the developers. They lament the decline of the CCU game since 2023, noting that the abundance of choices in previous years has dwindled significantly. The absence of transparency about upcoming changes or plans for the CCU system adds to their frustration, leading them to believe that the limited options might be a sign of the system’s impending decline or removal. They advise viewers to act quickly and acquire CCUs while they are still available, as the current environment suggests fewer opportunities in the future.
The discussion also covers specific ships like the Taurus and other potential options at the $200 mark, such as the Vulcan concept ship. The speaker points out that the Taurus is the only current $200 ship, with others either speculative or requiring more investment to build effective chains. They recommend focusing on ships like the Vulture and Zeus CL, which have shown consistent reappearances and discounts, making them better long-term investments for chain-building. The speaker warns that the limited current options make it challenging to create diverse upgrade paths, and they express skepticism about future releases or CCU reintroductions.
In conclusion, the speaker encourages viewers to take advantage of the limited CCU options available now, emphasizing the importance of strategic choices like the Vulture and Zeus CL for building long-term upgrade chains. They express disappointment with the overall direction of the CCU system and the lack of communication from the developers, suggesting that the current environment might be temporary before further restrictions or changes. The video ends with a light-hearted note, wishing viewers good luck and a great weekend, while humorously noting that they don’t have a rabid fan base or expect visitors at their house.
