CCP Games has deployed the 18th game expansion, for EvE Online, titled Retribution.  As usual, the expansion is free-of-charge, and is jam packed full of goodies.

EVE Online: Retribution brings a newbounty hunting system that allows players to exert pressure on adversaries at the Alliance, Corporation and individual levels. In addition, there is a new ability to openly sell kill rights, which means a lot more eye-for-an-eye justice will be had if you have the Isk to back it up. This is also backed up with a newly reworked “Crimewatch” system, which clearly shows the outcomes of acts both legal and illegal, leaving the choice of which road to take up to the player as always.

Retribution also brings to the table a massive rebalancing effort for every frigate, destroyer and cruiser in EVE.  They have been changed to provide more gameplay options and have revitalized some of the less frequently used hulls. Each of the main factions will add a new destroyer, a mining frigate, salvage drones and a micro-jump drive to the market as well. There is also the new situational music system and several major changes to the user interface.
