Ok, my base timer says 2+ hrs. before we can lock another target.

My question is if we lock in 2hrs. does the timer reset when we lock or when we disable the base?

it resets when you lock onto a base.

aye, what he said...

the 8 hour timer begins the moment a base is locked in
by the way... if you accept a base scan some other legion shared with you, the 8 hrs began when THEY locked in on the base, meaning if you join them while there's 6 hrs left on the clock, you can do another base in 6 hrs
