Arkombine logo
The Arkombine are a splinter group of disillusioned clone soldiers. Betrayed by the nations they swore to serve, they now seek independence and a way out of mercenary life. Their ranks are comprised of clone soldiers from all four of the major factions.

The stations were then boarded and secured by Arkombine mercenaries. Lina Ambre went on to report that, according to a statement released by the Upwell Consortium, the main objective of the attack was "to return control of the stations, and ORE itself, to the rightful owner and founder of ORE, Yani Sar Arteu."

The Upwell Consortium was only recently founded by a group of New EdenGÇÖs leading industrial corporations, comprising of Chemal Tech, Eifyr & Co., Intaki Bank, Mordu's Legion, Ytiri, and Zoar & Sons, with Yani Sar Arteu as Chairman of the board. The consortium will focus on infrastructure construction, notably the newly announced Astrahus, Fortizar and Keepstar Citadel product line.

The report ended by stating that ORE corporation is expected to announce later today that it will join the Upwell Consortium as a full partner.

Citadels have been a long time coming, with many developer blogs, talks at EVE Vegas, and now even in-game news items leading up to their release. The announcement of the Citadel product line on November 25, also under Lina Ambre's byline, hinted at the events in today's Scope video. While it is unclear what CCP plans to do next with the Upwell Consortium storyline, it seems their efforts at building player anticipation for the new structures are only just beginning.

Wait, Arkombine ARE actually clone soldiers? I must have missed that part of the background.

Looks like all my whining and bitching at the Lore devs finally paid off.

Was kinda hoping for something a bit more grandiose but I'll take what I can get

Would've been nice I we could've acted in the attacks though

I know, man. Trust me, CCP has heard plenty of complaints about it. We're working on it though.

Unfortunately interior spaces are particularly hard for the game to handle, hence the Gallente Lag Facility. Even if it was just one new map like The Gradivus Dilemma back in the early days of Warframe, it would probably be impossible to optimize for playable framerate.

LOL Interior spaces are not the problem.

Giant open maps eating up tons of memory for no reason are a problem.

Making all 32 people a separate model in the PS3 ram along with null cannon models, CRUs, Supply Depots, and whatever I am missing there are a problem.

Terribly ineffective lighting systems are a problem.


Basically terrible planning and execution are the problem and have been from the start. No amount of system resources is going to make up for that.


My only hope is that after many talks of "boarding parties" in the recent months we will see Legion unveiled at fanfest 16. Honestly if we are still sitting in silence after then I will have abandoned New Eden entirely in favor of supporting companies that actually know how to treat the people that spend money on their products.

At this point I only log into Eve or Dust just to say hello to a few friends that have not moved to the PS4. I only come here to the forums praying that some information has gotten leaked or maybe CCP has decided to wise up and use words instead of allowing rumor mongers to run rampant with despair.

Dust needs a boarding party map all interior no null turrents,vehicles,installations.Just hallways and a few bigger rooms to fight in.
These could represent taking a station or big ship in eve.

These videos are usually done to promote new content in a lore driven way.

Is it fair to assume that this is not the case at all as far as the Dust link goes?

It's ok, won't flip a table over it but I'd just like that put out there so everyone is clear on it.

on ps3 yeah

In terms of Dust it is a very fair assumption. The PS3 is too far gone for them to expect some crazy new move to be profitable.

In terms of it being hints for a new game I am torn. It was widely stated after the Legion announcement that no link would be pursued from the start in favor of focusing on making a "good game".

Fanfest 16 will mark two years since the infamous FF14 and well over a year since the iron curtain was drawn tight on development of Legion. For CCP to think they can keep people totally in the dark for that long and with people switching daily to next gen consoles would be absolutely naive.

Attempting to go past FF16 without something being said about what they are going to do in terms of a FPS would probably be the cherry on top of the mismanagement which has been the entire life of this game.

I have never seen a company so able to get followers that are so loyal along with mistreating them almost as badly as they possibly can. To be clear I am not talking about the Dust team including but not limited to Rattati and Frame but about upper levels of CCP starting from Rouge and going all the way up to Hilmar. They should all be thanking Rattati beyond belief for the fact that this game is still alive and has in some form turned profitable even while they did everything they could to kill off the game through what would seem to be an absolute lack of resources, a total shut out to a future after making the game solely based on its future, and among that silence pumping out products even from the studio that is meant to be working on Dust or the new FPS.

For the record, Rouge gets a lot of undeserved flack. Hilmar as well gets a lot more flack than he deserves, especially for the FF14 debacle. Fact of the matter is that when you have a company of several hundred people, the CEO and EP aren't always going to be the shot callers. Unfortunately Rouge and Hilmar were the public faces at the time, so they received the blame.

I'm sorry, but that is some weak sauce justification.

If the CEO isn't a shot caller, he isn't the CEO. If the EP isn't in charge of his project, he isn't an EP.

Do you really expect people to drink the kool-aid along with you and blame a coder for what happened at ff14?

The CEO and EP got let off easy for the blame they got.

Lol. Sure.

For the record, companies do have a hierarchy. It isn't just CEO and Employee. Even most fast food franchises have Franchise Owner > General Manager > Assistant Manager/Supervisor > Lead > Employee. You can't seriously expect that the Franchise Owner would be in charge of every nuance.

Keep justifying their actions guys like u r y the game is dead garbage
