In the January 2024 “In Case You Missed It” sale, a range of new shipping vehicles is being offered as war bond CCUs (Cross-Chassis Upgrades), with most of them returning from previous years. The discussion begins with the whole E ship, which is priced at $100 as a war bond, despite being a significant investment at $975 retail. The speaker suggests that while it may be wise to lock in the price now, there’s speculation on whether the price will increase in the future, particularly as seen with other ships like the Polaris. The speaker emphasizes the importance of evaluating whether to buy now or wait based on potential price increases.
The A2 ship is highlighted as a solid option due to its production status and past availability as a war bond. The speaker advises that if one already has a CCU for the whole E, it might be worth waiting to see how prices fluctuate. Speculation is a recurring theme in the discussion, particularly regarding the whole D and Carrick ships, where the speaker suggests that potential price increases could affect the feasibility of upgrading from one to another in the future. The speaker also expresses uncertainty about the timing of these ships’ releases and their corresponding price changes.
Moving on to the Ironclad assault ship, the speaker notes that it is expected to be available this year, and its price is likely to rise once it is released. The Ironclad is described as a long-hauler with some defensive capabilities, while the assault variant is combat-oriented. The speaker recommends securing a CCU for the Ironclad as soon as possible, especially if it becomes available during the upcoming Invictus event. However, the speaker cautions that speculative pricing could complicate decisions for buyers trying to build a chain of upgrades.
The video continues with a breakdown of other ships available in the sale, including the Guardian Qi and the Cutlass Steel, with the speaker recommending the latter due to a favorable discount ratio. The discussion also covers various options for upgrading to the Terpin Medic and the Hornet ships, emphasizing the importance of choosing the best value for money when building upgrade chains. The speaker suggests that if a buyer is aiming to end with a particular ship, it may be wise to consider the discounts and how they fit into their overall purchasing strategy.
In conclusion, the speaker expresses disappointment with the limited variety of war bond CCUs available, particularly noting the absence of the Ironclad in the CCU game. They also mention the potential for upcoming sales related to the Chinese New Year. The video wraps up with a promise of more content in the near future, focusing on sales and discounts, encouraging viewers to stay tuned for further updates on the evolving ship pricing landscape.
