Plan ship upgrades with CCU Game

A CCU lets you move from one ship to a pricier one by paying only the price difference. Chaining several together can cut a ship's real cost in half. CCU Game is the free calculator we recommend for building those chains. It also manages your hangar — import your RSI account and it shows every ship and upgrade you own, plus anything you can buy back.

CCU Game chain builder with six numbered, color-coded regions showing a nine-step upgrade chain from a Gladius fighter to a Corsair, costing $65 against a $250 retail price.
