Planning your ship upgrades has never been easier!

• Browse all available ships
• Plan your upgrade path using pledges from your hangar
• See upgrade paths and costs at a glance
• Export & import your CCU chain

If you're using it for the first time, you're probably eager to start creating your first chain. The first thing you need to decide is the starting and ending points of the chain.

For the upcoming Fleet Week, I want to upgrade my ATLAS GEO to a Starlancer Tac. So, let's first choose to insert these two nodes.

You can find them in the available ships on the left and drag them onto the canvas. At the same time, you can see that there are several currently available WB (Warbond) packages at the top of the available ship selector. So, to save more money for an extra treat.

The essence of planning a CCU path lies in inserting enough WB CCU packages into the path. Let's turn on the option to display historical WBs and see what historical WBs are available (ships that have had WBs in the past are more likely to have new WBs in the future).

For simplicity, as an example, we only added a few packages to the line. This way, we get a CCU chain. Click on our target ship to see the detailed upgrade path and cost.

Special reminder: If you need to use historical WBs for your planning, you need to click the edit path button on the ship node card, select historical WB for a certain path. When connecting nodes, only currently on-sale WBs and CCUs in your hangar will be automatically set.

After completing the installation, you need to check if you have logged into the official Star Citizen website. If everything is fine, click the refresh button in the "My Hangar" section (not the browser's refresh button! Of course, after installing the extension, you'll need to refresh the page once, but not afterwards). Soon, the CCUs you own will be displayed here.

It's simple. Find a reliable seller and ask for the price of the CCUs they are selling.

For example, if someone is selling a CCU from Nova to Vanguard Sentinel for $10 (this is just a made-up example, the Vanguard Sentinel doesn't have such cheap WBs now).

Then you need to click the edit path button on the Vanguard Sentinel node, and then for the incoming link from Nova, select "Manual: Third-party CCU" and set the price to $10.

Note: If the currency displayed for third-party CCUs here is not your preferred currency, you need to go to App Settings - Preferences and select your preferred currency.

If the Vanguard Sentinel will be a WB during Fleet Week, then you have two paths to choose from – you can buy the CCU from eBay, or wait for the official WB. But you can't make up your mind because you want to save money and also want store credit/spending.

Very simple! Duplicate a Vanguard Sentinel node, create another connection from Nova to Vanguard Sentinel, and select historical WB (or "Manual: Official CCU", so you can set a custom estimated price).

You may have noticed that the historical WB's Vanguard Sentinel node is not connected to the MOLE. Don't worry! This route will also be included in the calculation when you finally view the upgrade route for the Starlancer TAC. You just need to ensure that a node corresponding to the current ship has a connection created.

Remember the "have your cake and eat it too" dilemma we just talked about? Let's consider this problem quantitatively:

You want store credit, so you spend money. We know that you can earn store credit by purchasing items for others. You might give the buyer a discount, say 10%, then the cost for you to obtain $1 of store credit is 10 cents. You can factor store credit into consideration by setting the store credit value in the panel on the right.

Also, you can set the cost of purchasing your starting ship in the panel on the right. This will help to better calculate the total value of the entire chain.

Just remember, the final cost of a route we calculate is equivalent to the money you actually spend + the money you need to spend to buy back the store credit lost due to purchasing CCUs from third parties. If you don't want store credit, just set this value to 0.

You can go to App Settings to set the priority order. When creating connections, the system will automatically select CCU sources based on this priority order and their availability.

Working on it, will be supported in the future.
