Once hacked, a tower immediately converts to the ownership of the hacker's empire. For bases, there is a 15 minute timer activated the moment the hack is activated. When the timer expires, the hacker's empire gets control of the base except in the case of an LLU base. In those cases a 15 minute timer limits how long the LLU is available to be run to the appropriate base. If the LLU is not run in time than the hack will be cancelled. The CC can be immediatly re-hacked however, to start the LLU timer over again.
Bases can only be hacked if they are linked via the lattice to a friendly base, or if the base has gone neutral.
Hacking an enemy base will also disrupt their Facility Linked Benefits.
