Alpha 3.12 Referral Bonus Brings Free Drake Dragonfly to Star Citizen

Cloud Imperium Games celebrated the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.12 with an exciting referral bonus program that offered players the chance to earn a free Drake Dragonfly hover bike.

The promotion ran from December 17, 2020 to January 11, 2021, giving both new and veteran players the opportunity to add the nimble Drake Dragonfly to their fleet at no cost. During this period, all existing backers were granted temporary access to fly the Dragonfly for free.

To participate in the referral bonus, players needed to recruit a new player to Star Citizen using their unique referral code. When the new player purchased a game package valued at $40 or more, both the recruiter and new player were awarded a Drake Dragonfly with lifetime insurance.

The Drake Dragonfly is a versatile single-seat hover bike capable of operating both on planetary surfaces and in space. Its compact design and dual-mode functionality make it an ideal scout and exploration vehicle. The Dragonfly also features a rear-facing second seat, allowing pilots to bring along a passenger on their adventures.

This referral bonus was touted as the "greatest referral bonus to date" for Star Citizen, offering significant value to both new and existing players. In addition to the free Dragonfly, recruiters also received the standard referral rewards of 5,000 United Earth Credits and a Recruitment Point toward the ongoing referral program.

The Alpha 3.12 update introduced several major new features to explore with the Dragonfly, including:

  • Gas cloud tech in space
  • Refining gameplay for mined materials
  • A new tractor beam multi-tool attachment

Cloud Imperium Games encouraged players to team up and discover these new additions together, emphasizing how the Dragonfly's passenger seat made it perfect for co-piloting adventures.

To ensure players didn't miss out, CIG provided detailed instructions on how to participate in the referral program. This included where to find referral codes, how to properly recruit new players, and clarification on how the bonus worked alongside the standard referral program.

The free Dragonfly awarded through this promotion was flagged as non-meltable and non-giftable to maintain its value as a special reward. New recruits saw the ship added to their account on January 11, while recruiters received it as soon as their recruit met the criteria.

This limited-time offer provided an excellent opportunity for Star Citizen's community to grow while rewarding both new and veteran players with an exciting and versatile ship. The Drake Dragonfly continues to be a popular choice for planetary exploration and short-range space travel in the persistent universe.

A Dragonfly's Tale: Adventures with the 30K.fun Referral Club

Captain Jenna Hawke of the 30K.fun Star Citizen Referral Code Club stood on the landing pad at Port Olisar, admiring her newly acquired Drake Dragonfly. The sleek hover bike gleamed in the artificial light, a testament to the power of friendship and shared adventures in the vast expanse of the Stanton system.

"Hey, Jenna!" called out a familiar voice. It was her friend and fellow club member, Zack. "Ready to take that beauty for a spin?"

Jenna grinned. "You bet! But first, we need to pick up the newest member of our Referral Code Club. They just pledged using our code and are probably wondering what code to use for their friends."

As they hopped onto the Dragonfly, Jenna couldn't help but chuckle at the irony. Here they were, part of The Star Citizen Referral Code Club, zooming around on a ship they got for free, all while embracing the chaos of alpha testing.

Their first stop was Grim HEX, where they met up with the newest member of the RSI Referral Code Club, a wide-eyed rookie named Alex.

"Welcome aboard!" Jenna exclaimed. "Ready for your first 30K error?"

Alex looked confused. "A what?"

Zack laughed. "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. It's all part of the fun!"

As they set off to explore the gas clouds of Crusader, Jenna couldn't help but feel grateful for the community they'd built. Sure, there were bugs and crashes, but with friends like these, every setback was just another adventure waiting to happen.
