Referrals Reimagined
We’ve started again from the ground up to bring you a completely new and improved referral experience. From a new visual interface with enhanced usability, to animated milestones and clear progression tracking, we’ve reworked all aspects to make navigating and engaging with your referrals a smoother experience for all.

New Leaderboards
More Insight. More Recognition.
Of course, we’d never forget our leaderboard system! It’s been rebuilt right alongside the referral program to offer clearer, more flexible tracking. You can now filter by weekly, monthly, and yearly, giving both rookie pilots and long-time veterans a chance to stand out.

Better Rewards, More Often
Legendary Loot
And finally, but most excitingly, our rewards ladder has been fully refreshed, giving you more frequent, more meaningful unlocks. Earn landing zone-themed loot, Star Kitten and Big Benny’s collectible tints for the Freelancer series, and some of the ‘verse's most sought-after ships. Climb the ladder to clinch a Vanduul Scythe, an Idris-M, and yes—even the MISC Raptor.

1. When does the new Referral Program launch?
The updated Referral Program officially goes live on July 2, 2025!

2. What’s changing in the new program?
We’ve completely overhauled the Referral Program to make it more rewarding, more engaging, and easier to use. Expect a sleek new interface, more frequent and exciting rewards, and fresh incentives for both new and veteran players.

3. What happens to my current referral progress?
If you've referred at least one player who has purchased a game package before July 2, you'll retain access to what we're now calling the Legacy Ladder. You'll be able to view it via your Account Settings, and going forward, new referrals will count toward both the Legacy and new ladders—meaning you can earn rewards on both tracks at the same time.

4. What happens to my current referral count?
The new leaderboard system allows you to sort by weekly, monthly, yearly, or all-time, with all-time displaying your total referrals, including those from the Legacy Ladder.

5. What about my Prospects (people who used my referral code but haven’t bought a package yet)?
No worries—all Prospects will carry over. You’ll still be able to view and track them from your Account Settings.

6. Do I need a new referral code?
Nope! If you’ve used the Referral Program before, your existing referral code will remain valid.

7. What if my friend forgot to use my referral code when creating their account?
We’ve added a 24-hour grace period after account creation—if they forget, they’ll now have a full day to add your code retroactively.

8. Are there any improvements for new players?
Yes! The starting UEC bonus has been increased from 5,000 to 50,000, giving new players a much stronger start in the ‘verse.

9. Why are you making these changes?
The original Referral Program was showing its age—both in design and rewards. This revamp brings everything up to speed with a modern look, improved usability, and a reward structure worthy of today’s Star Citizen community.

10. Did someone say MISC Raptor?!
You heard right—and no, it’s not an April Fools’ joke. The MISC Raptor is one of the legendary new rewards available on the updated ladder. While it’s been added to the reward track, it’s still in development and will be delivered at a later date. We’ll share more once it moves through our vehicle pipeline.
