Introducing the New Referral Program - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42
robertsspaceindustries.com
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.

I think they definitely handled this upgrade the right way. Many players were concerned about losing all of their previous progress with the previous system, but making it so referrals count towards both rewards is awesome:

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.

      Well, we are getting some corpo paints for the upcoming cargo event missions.

      But it’s for the Hurston Dynamics/MicroTech/ArcCorp/Crusader stuff.

      Earning a skin by working for Big Benny’s/Whammers, etc. would have been awesome.

    Another awesome update to the system:

    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.
