Please keep in mind that you don't accidentally melt down your ship with the game package to buy a bigger ship... then you won't be able to play anymore. You also have to keep in mind that if you melt down something that already had an upgrade, you can only get the first ship back, not the upgrades on it. And you sometimes have rare things... for example an upgrade to Glavie, which you can only have once. If you have applied this upgrade and then melt this ship, the rare uprgade is gone as only the first ship is in buyback. And no upgrades on referral bonuses... you can`t melt it...😉
thanks for the info - I have a question which nobody has been able to help me with. I have an upgrade token from a C1 Spirit to Zeus ES, this token was an upgrade/ccu chain from my Nomad starter package which includes my game package. Now, I have decided that I'd rather have the Zeus CL and not the Zeus ES. Since I have NOT applied the upgrade token yet, what are my options to switch over to the Zeus CL instead? Thanks in advance if you're able to help.
Important information what I found hard way, I added some warbound discounted upgrades and some standard upgrades then I used game credits and rest I've payed with new money when items got into hangar none of them were giftable and I couldn't send them to any friend... so Only items bought with new money are Giftable
But you can buy a small ship with real money and then upgrade it to something larger, then it is giftable. The only important thing is that the first ship was paid for cash. But don`t take the PTV... it`s not a ship it`s hangar deko.
Thanks man, very helpful video. Also, 21 Euros in tax! For a $115 purchase? Wow, much higher than imagined. But at least you guys have healthcare and all the other benefits of living in Germany.
Hi, I know this vid is a little old, Idk if you will awnser me, but I have a question about the packages on sale, if I buy a package for 56 but the ship in this package costs 70, can I melt the package and get 70? How does it works for discounted packages? I know I cant buy a warbond with store credits, but I can melt it right? Do I receive the full ship price or the discouted value? Also if I decide to upgrade this ship to another one, i will have the 70 dollars of the ship I imagine?
@@xMendonzAx o7 you will have as much you have invested. If you paid 50 you will get 50 back when you melt 🫠 If you decide to upagrade: if the ship is 50 and you want one from 80 you will have to pay 30. o7
You will only be able to get the ship from which was upgrade started. For example if I bought origin 325 and upgrade to origin 400i, and after some time melt 400i, i can only buy back 325.
I bought a package years ago to get into game (Auroura LN) with S42 and lifetime insurance. If I upgrade/melt the Auroura to upgrade, will I keep my access to S42 or lose it?
Everything in your package remains, LTI, SQ42, etc. when you upgrade this ship. Whren you melt it, everything is away until you take it from the buyback. When you melt it, you loose the access to the game, then you must buy a new one with fresh money or you take it from the buyback.
I bought a reclaimer off of starlti which is a 3rd party store for starcitizen, it cost me 240, now on the rsi store i can melt for around same price as i bought it. How can this be if the reclaimer on rsi store costs 380? And when i want to upgrade the reclaimer it is valued at 400.
They do upgrade on sales, I explained that in video. That way it is cheaper. So if you bought a package worth 280 and it is Reclaimer, when you melt it you will get 280 not the current price. O7

If you are concierge you can melt your ship with game package and still play

@@goldmund22 You can melt that upagrade and for the money buy a new, but only if you have not apply it.
I just made that mistake unfortunatly. I sent them an email to see if they can reverse it, so hopefully they can.

Mind blown ! Thank you verry much. Subbed!

It's been a long time since anyone has made a video on CCU exchanging cheers.
I only wish that if you buy amor or guns you should be able to get them back if you die or explode.
I hope that will be implemented in the game soon.

once you buy some armor, how do you find it? I do not see it in my list at my hangar? if you die wearing it do you get more copies?
@@MikeNPeeGee Armor will be on your home planet inventory, if you die and you don't recover it, you will lose it until next update. o7
I won a giveaway ship. I was thinking of upgrading it, but if I later melt it to downgrade to a smaller ship would I be able to buy it back?
You will only be able to get the ship from which was upgrade started. For example if I bought origin 325 and upgrade to origin 400i, and after some time melt 400i, i can only buy back 325.
Can you do a grey market guide video next? Selling off one of my three ships each year they don’t make progress
Good Idea thank you.

@@infinitespace239 Ah I understand now, appreciate you 07.
How do you have pirate ships available to buy? Im not seeing this on my end.
They are shown only on pirateweek in september.
Finish Pirate Swarm in Arena Commander. Glaive will be available if you finish Alien Swarm
