Is there an update on the CCU system?

TL;DRThe CCU system is still pending testing with no date, and Vanguard variant CCUs and field upgrade kits are planned, along with slightly lower prices for the two variants.

It's still pending some testing. Basically, they've got a lot on their plate. It's on the schedule, and it will be ready when it's ready.

There will be CCUs for the two Vanguard variants, for people who have an existing Vanguard and want to swap to a Harbinger or a Sentinel. There will also be what we're calling Battlefield Upgrade Kits. We called them Field Upgrade Kits for a while until we started thinking about acronyms. And basically what that is is an in-world thing where instead of buying a second Vanguard, you could just buy a Field [Upgrade Kit] ... The only thing you don't get with that is the changed styling. Differences don't impact the stats of the variants, but you can convert to the same stats as the Vanguard, Harbinger or Sentinel, or both. You can swap them around as well. Basically, it's a similar system as the Retaliator pods, but external instead of internal. And that should be fun. I'm also pleased to announce that the two Vanguard variants were overpriced a little bit in our first analysis, so they're slightly cheaper. I think it's about 10, 15 bucks cheaper each in the final SKU. And you guys will have access to those shortly. We take our review seriously for pricing ships based on components.
