Thread: Tips on Base Slicing for XP?
I run in, let them incap me, find the term and star to slice, however they always seem to reaggro me. What's the secret. I'd really rather not have to kill 18k XP worth of marks to get my MBH.
With a good grouop, you can do 1 base in like 5 minuts. The only thing that might make it harder, will be the bases with turrets. I had a group of guildies with me, and within 1 hour, give or take, I had 18k for the invest 4 box. Before that, I was silly and did it all in hunting marks.
The upside to hunting though is the loot you can make a killing with on the trade forums.
How in the heck did you find enough bases to get 18 down in an hour?
I would hunt marks, but it's getting incredible boring. There is no challenge to it, the fights are easy the tracking is always the same, and I keep getting crap loot. Sure I have 5 Finely Crafted Toolkits (worth max 20k on my server) and 4 Trando Intraframs (similar) and a few other things. I mostly get crappy paintings and foraged bugs. I hunted my way to Invest III, I want a break.

I need some, I have a really hard time doing this. I have only successfully sliced one base solo, I have tried at least 10 others and always get killed.

And this type of BH, goes on his first Jedi mission and dies. After that he scream on forums for jedi nerf because they are too powerful.
get a list of all bases that arent SF and then just hire a cloaker of your faction to go down and move the pile. Approx 10k of invest. xp a hr doing this way. I was lucky i had 2 that would switch off and regen so no time wasted![]()

I did these solo without a problem, temp is was 2444 bh, mpistol, 4000 cm. I took ruby before had, then burst run food, got incapped just inside door and located term with /tar upl while i was incapped. Double stim then ruby stim when you stand up and start running toward term. 75% of bases i got to uplink by 2nd incap, just the ones right at the bottom i had to go for death.
Have you tried the real small bases? I found 7-8 small rebel bases on rori on my server, and these only have 1 floor, with about level 60ish npcs. You should only need 1 incap to get these as there is only about 4 different rooms.

Not because i am bored right now, but because i want to learn my proffession.
Trust me, I know the profession. I was MBH right after CU. I used my token respec to go MR/MP then ended up grinding MCM/MP. Was that way until about 2 weeks ago, I wanted to be a BH again. I killed a few Jedi when I was MBH before.
Plus, killing lvl 76-81 Bounties isn't going to allow me to learn my specials.

Jedi are different, but low level marks are not my idea of a challenge.
Also, I resent the remark that I will scream for a Jedi nerf because I got killed by one Jedi. If I fail, it's because I didn't hit my heals fast enough.

On the positive side, I found about 6-7 Imp bases on Dant that I'll be targeting in the next few days.
