If the page 1 guide was of help and you now understand the basic idea on how to match the Sample Chains, this is an addendum to that as I did not want to include this part as it may confuse people. I figure once people understand the basic ideas on how it works off page 1, this part should make sense.
When matching the 23 letters from the list to the first letter in theSampled Chain, you do not have to match the first letter in the sampled chain, you can match any of the letters. In other words, any letter in the list of 23, as long as the opposite is in the sampled chain you can match, regardless of whether its the first letter in the sampled chain or the last letter. For example, lets assume you have 4 letters left to match in the list and all 4 are G...something like:
DNA Sequence Processing...
Complete the missing Pairs:AT, TA, GC, CG
Matched Pairs: 0
Sampled Chain: ACA
CG
TA
AT
AT
G
G
CG
G
TA
G
etc etc....
In this instance, you do not have to wait for a C to be the first letter in the sampled chain, as long as you have a C anywhere in the sampled chain you can match it to one of the 4 remaining G's. In the above Sampled Chain: ACA, notice C is not the first letter of the chain, A is. Doesnt matter, you can still match it to one of the G's.So to match the C to one of the 4 remaining G's,simply line it up by choosing the letter above any G even though the first A in the sample chain wont match it. Like this:
Sampled Chain:ACA
CG
TA
AT
AT< - Choose here because the letter C in the sampled chain is the second letter, therefore by choosing here
G< - thisletterG will match the C in the sampled chain.
CG
G
TA
G
etc etc....
Breaking this down, by choosing the AT, you are pairing AT with the First A in the sampled chain which has no benefit but you are pairing the G with the C in the sampled chain, and then the CG is being paired with the last A in the sampled chain which has no benefit. Even though the AT and CG are already matched pairs, doesnt matter you were simply choosing the AT so that the sampled chains C would match the G, AT and CG are illrelevent.
This leads to the possibilty of matching multiple pairs at one time as well. You can easily often get 2 and 3 pair matches each time if the letters in the list of 23 are lined up to match the 3 letters in your Sampled Chain as was briefly discussed on page 1.For example:
DNA Sequence Processing...
Complete the missing Pairs:AT, TA, GC, CG
Matched Pairs: 0
Sampled Chain: CGT
C
T
A
A
G
G
C
A
T
T
In this example to match the C in the sampled chain, you have 2 choices as there are 2 G's to choose to match the C to. However 1 G will give you only 1 match, the other G if you chose it gives you 3 matches, so obviously both are the right choice as you are guaranteed to at least match the C, but one choice is better because you will get 3 matches, here it is:
Sampled Chain: CGT
C
T
A
A
G
G < - First Match: Choose here because the Sampled chains C matches this G
C < - Second Match: If you chose the above G, the sampled chains second letter G will match this C too!
A < - Third Match: The sampled chains third letter T will match this A....Triple match with 1 choice!!
T
T
You can match ANY of the 3 sampled chains letters, and or any combination of the letter, you can match the first and third in one choice,second and third, first and second,etc.

Ok, I've copied the first post, as well as the advanced post to the FAQ thread. Nice job.

A player base goes vulnerable only for 2 hours of each day, so steps must be taken in order to destroy it during that 2 hours. To learn more of the steps needed look here

Little tips you might want to add that does wonders.
If you are having troubles finding the Override Terminal, simply untarget by hitting ESC until your target goes away, then type in "/target override" while inside the base. Follow the blue arrow to see where the Override terminal is then take off.
If you are trying to access your terminal but are stuck in combat, simply have an ally Incapacite you through Dueling, get yourself healed and you will be out of combat. Many times raiders storm a base without taking out the outer defences and you character can get bugged/stuck in combat, this is a quick fix to avoid frustration.

I guess SOE never heard of non-watson crick base pairing or pyrimidine dimers. Kinda like how butterflies drop avian bone but drop insect meat. Sorry, the ranting microbiologist has finished now.

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this guide. Took down my first base last night and I did my job in under 5 minutes using your guide. Everyone on the raid was stunned to say the least.

I did my first base tonight, and this info was a lifesaver! Thank you!
