The creator clarifies a previous editing mistake that omitted important information about the Raft ship’s recent price increase and its value in the Star Citizen Hermes Warbond 2026 deal, emphasizing that the Raft offers the best discount compared to other ships. They also explain CCU mechanics for maximizing savings amid rising prices and encourage viewers to take advantage of current Warbond offers while apologizing for the earlier confusion.
In this video, the creator addresses a previous mistake made in an earlier video about the Star Citizen Hermes Warbond 2026. They explain that an important section discussing the price increase of the Raft ship was accidentally cut out during editing, which led to confusion among viewers. The creator apologizes for the oversight, attributing it to their amateur editing skills and the challenges of balancing full-time work and family life with video production. To correct this, they have re-edited and re-uploaded the video with the missing context included, aiming to clarify the situation.
The main focus of the video is the pricing and value of the Raft ship in relation to the Hermes Warbond deal. The Raft recently had a price increase from $150 to $190, which was not clearly communicated in the previous video. The creator emphasizes that the Raft is the best option for a discount when purchasing the Hermes Warbond, as it offers a significant value compared to other ships. They explain that those who previously acquired Raft CCUs (Cross-Chassis Upgrades) at lower prices are in a good position, as these upgrades now represent substantial savings due to the price jump.
Other ships like the Zeus MR, Comet, Saber Firebird, and various Hornet models are mentioned, but none offer as good a deal as the Raft currently does. The creator notes that some of these ships have had multiple Warbond offers in the past, but their pricing and upgrade paths make them less advantageous compared to the Raft. The video also touches on the rarity of Warbond availability for certain ships and speculates about future price increases for ships like the Railin and the Hole, which have not yet seen adjustments.
The creator also discusses the mechanics of CCU chaining, explaining how players can leverage upgrades from lower-priced ships to more expensive ones at a discount, making the process more affordable despite rising prices. They highlight that while the overall cost of ships in Star Citizen is increasing, savvy players can still find ways to maximize value through strategic CCU use. The Hermes Warbond, with its $20 discount, is positioned as a good opportunity within this framework, especially when paired with the Raft.
Finally, the video concludes with a lighthearted apology once again and well-wishes to the viewers. The creator mentions the ongoing Star Citizen event “Lifeline for Levski,” noting some server instability but expressing hope that it will improve soon. They thank viewers for their understanding and patience regarding the earlier confusion and encourage them to take advantage of the current Warbond deals while looking forward to future content and updates in the game.
