Star Citizen Idris: the capital ship and the top referral reward
An iconic capital frigate, and the highest reward on the referral ladder.
The Idris is the top of the referral ladder. The Idris-M frigate is the highest reward on RSI's recruitment ladder, given to a referrer who reaches 1,042 recruits. It is also a capital ship people dream about flying. So it ties directly to the referral program and the code STAR-JTV7-FXLR.
The Idris is one of Star Citizen's iconic capital ships, and it holds a special place in the referral program as the ultimate reward, so it is worth knowing both sides.
The ship
The Aegis Idris is a frigate-class capital ship: a large, heavily armed military vessel with a full interior, a hangar bay for smaller craft, and room for a sizeable crew. It is the kind of ship that anchors an organisation's fleet, not something one player casually flies.
The Idris and the referral program
On RSI's recruitment ladder, the Idris-M sits at the very top, awarded at 1,042 successful recruits. Below it are ships like the Vanduul Scythe (500), Esperia Stinger (200), Freelancer MAX (100), Tumbril Storm (75), MISC Raptor (50) and the Aegis Gladius (42). The full ladder is here. Reaching the top is a long-haul community effort, but it shows how far the referrer side of the program goes.
The new-player side is far simpler: sign up with STAR-JTV7-FXLR and your account gets 50,000 UEC of in-game currency after a $40+ Game Package. No grinding required to enjoy the game.
