Eve Online will launch the next expansion on 4 December 2012, entitled Retribution. The newest expansion is revamping the existing, and admittedly incredibly broken, bounty system. There are new ships and new roles included in the expansion as well.
The core of the new bounty system is to pay out a portion of the pool in value of ISK loss from the target versus the entire amount at once. That total loss from the target value is about 20% value of the total ISK value lost by the target, meaning that a player with a high bounty pool can be killed numerous times before the entire bounty pool is depleted.
Crime watch is also included in the expansion, which instantly displays a brief history of the capsuleer’s past actions. The system is designed to allow freedom from consequences, not to limit freedom of choice.
Dust 514 is the Playstation 3 companion game to Eve Online that is currently in open beta. The game is rumored to be releasing in November 2012, just ahead of the Eve Online Expansion. The game will allow for coordination between players of Dust and Eve to accomplish goals and objectives. Players of Dust actually control a mercenary character on the ground, running around just like your typical MMO, with classes and weapons.
