A heads up though stores on Redit are making referral accounts then a month later gifting and selling all of the SC starters referrals to just do it again. So you better keep your lead and watch that leaderboard daily
Sounds like a lot of work and risk of not being able to sell the ship you bought.

Are people actually successful in doing this?

Yes it's been a normal thing for a very long time just no one wanted to pay more than 10 usd for referrals until now. Currently on the market 10 referrals are going for 140-200 usd. Everyone wants that star kittens. The smart ones are making up Giveaways and at certain amounts of referrals they pass out a prize to one of the referrals @ 2000 I think they are giving away a Polaris or something. It's a smart move but the whole market is pretty sure that if you start getting so many massive referrals with all of those accounts suddenly gifting their ships away 30 days later either to 1 account to or each separately they may strip all of those accounts of those referrals as that's not very fair for legit people trying to get people to join the game. We will see though either way legit new players or not that is 40 usd more funds into the game per account created that cannot be removed from the funding to make the game a reality fantastic marketing strategy.

Damn, sounds like I could be making good cash on the market. Wtf.
Most likely you could haha at the moment people are eating up those referrals like there is no tomorrow. I don't have enough money to just toss aside for 30 days to do something like that or else id be doing it as its a great way to get to that 3k mark for the Javelin. that's what 300 total referrals selling 10 at a time? that makes 22 times and you are home free with enough rsi credit to buy a javelin. Only bad part is now you have to sell those 220 Auroras or mustangs worth of credit which is 8800 usd worth of ships. That could be bothersome.... unless you take the 3000 usd from that amount then you just need to sell 5800 usd worth of ships which isn't impossibly just a lot of Polaris with LTI. Just remember that also means that's 220 Emails accounts haha.

Buyer requests a referral from seller for XXXX price for YY amount of referals.
Seller Accepts and is payed
Seller creates YY amount of accounts and buys the 40 usd package from the RSI website using real money
Buyer receives 1 referral for each account created and package bought.
Buyer receives prizes and contest prizes.

Edit forgot about the seller in the end

Seller 30 days after the creation of YY accounts gifts all of those ships to their primary account and melts all of them for RSI credits to be used as he pleases.

This sounds expensive since each account would need 40 dollars. Am I missing something?

It is expensive and your money would be tied up for at least 30 days until you can gift it. but in the end its a huge gain.
Is it possible to gift them more than once and use the referral code on new accounts that way as well? Gift 10, use referral every 30 days?

Granted that number includes NPCs so the actual player count may/will be smaller but regardless it is not something you want to joyride in without an escort. Unless you're RussianJ.
Nothing wrong with playing some demolition derby with capital ships. Because we can.

That's why you also buy backups, for when they go boom!
