Hey I just got slicing 1 terminals and I tried using it on some terminals on Dantooine at the pirate outpost but it kept saying that I couldn't see the object. Is this because the backs of the terminals were close to pillars and I couldn't supposedly slip the back off of the terminal or what?

I had the same problem with the terminals at the rebel outpost on Rori. I figure that the way they are placed has to do with it as I was getting the same "you cannot see this object" system message even tho it would give me missions.


I remember a time not so long ago, when npc missions would spawn with the lair sticking out of the tents and you couldn't attack them cause you couldn't see them....itdidn't matter how much of the lair was in the tent, it wasn't visible. I swore off npc missions until it was fixed. I think someone was wearing a towel over his head when he placed the terminals.

I've had the same exact problems with mission terminals placed on pilars or at strange angles. Have yet to have the problem with one placed flat against a wall though. It's probably some sort of model clipping issue, and the part that you can't "see" is inside the pilar/wall/etc.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

Oh yeah, as far as slicing terminals on Dantooine, try to find a player city with the "Improved Job Market" as they pay better even before you slice them. That way if you don't like the ones that pop up after the slice, you can still get some decent paying missions.

Yes, you guys are correct, the terminals are placed so they're interfering with walls and the like and thus can't be sliced. It isn't much of a hassle these days, though, as Iawo is right on the money with his improved job market suggestion.

I'm glad it just wasn't something I was doing wrong. I too find a quiet player city and just used terminal slicing to grind without spending 6k+ on containers.
