Make your RSI account first (it’s free)

You need an RSI account to participate in Free Fly events. If you want the referral bonus, it must be applied during account creation.

Referral bonus (new accounts)

50,000 UEC is granted after your first qualifying purchase (minimum $40). All starter packages qualify.

Referral code: STAR-CW5S-4N4N

Using a referral code is optional. It does not link accounts together in-game — it simply gives you a free head start.

Important:

Buy a game package, not just a standalone ship. A standalone ship purchase alone does not grant game access.

What you get (and when)

Referral eligibility is set at account creation.
After first qualifying purchase ($40+), 50,000 UEC is applied.
Starter packs normally include 10,000 UEC.
Event-linked packs may include 20,000 UEC or more.
Free Fly events sometimes add “first purchase” bonuses (often armor or FPS gear, occasionally ground vehicles).

Always verify package contents on the store page before purchasing.

Already have an RSI account?

If your account was created without a referral, you generally can’t add one later (there’s only a limited grace window).
