Game Mechanics

How to Slice a Faction Base Terminal:

1. You must be Declared (with a faction) and set as a Combatant (PvE enabled) to Slice a terminal in a PvE base and set as Special Forces (PvP enabled) to slice a PvP base.

2. You must have Slicing 1 or greater.

3. After the Bounty Hunter jams the Uplink Terminal, and only if they are successful, then you slice the security terminal.

4. The Security Terminal is oval in shape and dark in color. It will have the label "Security Terminal" when you mouse over it.

5. The interface is normal, and works exactly as if you were slicing any mission terminal.

6. There is a known bug that it may report the color of the wire incorrectly, but the polarity seems more dependable. It's my recommendation that you pay more attention to negative and positive rather than red or blue. (Positive=Blue Negative=Red)

7. If you do screw up, you will have the option of repairing the Security Terminal, and in a unknown amount of time you will be able to retry the slice. (~2-4 min)

Other notes:

1. Don’t Rush, the only timer running is the Vulnerability window each Factional Base has. I have seen Bounty Hunters jam their terminal, and the Smuggler falls in combat, only to clone and make their way back to the base and still successfully slice the Security Terminal.
2. 1000 Slicing XP is the reward for a successful slice.
3. The terminal will not appear when the base is not vulnerable. The bases are "safe" for 22 hours, and "vulnerable" for 2 hours. Within this 2 hour window is when the terminals can be sliced, and a base destroyed.
