Cryptic Studios has announced a number of new programs for both current and potential players of Star Trek Online.

For current players, Cryptic has announced the Veteran Rewards program, which allows players to collect a number of rewards for every 100 days they are subscribed to the game. Rewards include new titles, ship and ship slots, costume pieces, boosts, character slots and more.

A new Referral program was also announced, which allows current players to earn rewards for recruiting others to the game. Rewards for the Referral program include several titles, a unique Tribble, non stacking points for your Captain and his Officers, a unique holographic Bridge Officer, and 400 Cryptic points. Additional rewards can be earned for recruiting more players.

Cryptic Studios is even offering something for former players in the form of a "Winback Weekend" which begins tomorrow at 10AM PST. Former players with an inactive subscription will be able to login to Star Trek Online this weekend and play through Monday.

Finally, for those of you who never got into the game for whatever reason, Cryptic Studios will be offering a Demo program similar to the one currently being offered for Champions Online. The demo will allow players to play for an unlimited amount of time, however, there will be a number of restrictions. The demo will include the "Stranded in Space"  mission, which pits players against Orion space pirates. The demo is currently available for pre-load, and will be officially released tomorrow.
