The Raptor will be available as a referral program reward:
MISC Raptor coming to the Verse!
- Thread starter NaffNaffBobFace
- Start date
Yep. We've got some work to do. Squadron 42 should bring a whole heap of interest in the PU, time to get your game-face on
Do our marketing for us programs only work for "content creators" and "influencers".
By this time normal people have no friends left to try and recruit into a project with such a lousy, tarnished reputation.

Not to sound tooo Gloomy Gus, where the hell will I find 50 People to join with my code???
Well you might try your hand at a AI Video of president Trump endorsing game packages bought with YOUR code as the new hot and coming Cyber Currency ?
They trade Starships! Eat THAT Musk!!

The Raptor is a street sweeper? I thought that was an April Fools Day joke?! Maybe it still is? If the required 50 recruits each spend $200 on the game over just one year, that’s $10,000 of revenue for CIG. If the Raptor is worth $50, that’s equivalent to CIG sharing a 0.5% finders fee for our advertising effort for them. That’s a fair bit of advertising work for a small return, financially and in ship usefulness. Unless they plan on corpse pile cleanup at med beds being an even bigger feature for the 1.0 release.

It was a Triggerfish gag, the vehicle was made to be an NPC only asset but was so popular they are making it player flyable. I'm not going to work out how much the rest stuff between 1 and 50 referrals is but I don't think it'll bump up the 'finders fee' that much.
As all assets will be earnable in game one wonders about a perceived 'value' of any one item, however they've never said how easy it'll be to earn the asset or what we'll have to sacrifice in game to get it.
For the effort and commitment a 50 referral will need, I'd expect the Raptor to be behind a reputation wall that permanently effects your game, by for example somehow makeing you an enemy of 48% of all systems in the 'Verse or something else that'd be hell of a restriction to your play... or just a grind-a-thon so big as to be your game for years like pick up a million tonnes of trash or literally clean up the whole of Lorville...?
One of the other rewards I love the look of is the 100 referral Freelancer Max with 4 Brands Skins. I can imagine players being able to easily get those skins in game, BUT not all at once: So you do missions and get the Whammers skin, but that puts you negative rep with Ellroy's so you can't get that one without going negative with Whammers and losing the Whammers skin to gain the Ellroys one etc... we could be looking at one of the 'Verses biggest mexican stand-offs where all of the assets are earnable easily but no natural player can hold them all at once, that honour available through the refferal reward...?
All theory crafting of course but good fun, eh?

Problem is, I can no longer refer people to SC in good conscience. The game is too buggy and broken with devs that seem to be hired because they are cheap warm bodies and not skilled in the development of an mmo…
Is this... the new ground variant of our beloved Aurora? "Gather the fleet!" Of ships? "No...Of sweepers!"
Indeed!
Next up for CIG designers: The Drake Garbage Scowl.

And replace the mighty (unofficially test ground vehicle made up by me as of this very moment) PTV...?
