Or to farm on undefended remotes.
But you can choose several different servers, and earn two bytes by run.
Meaning: If I choose HQ can I trigger the access replacement effect of the resource if can't normally access?
No, you can't replace something that didn't occur.
Assuming two copies of this in play, what would be the effects? Same as if there was just one copy?
You would trigger each copy of Security Testing at the start of your turn, choosing a server for each one (it can be the same server). Then when you make a successful run on the chosen server(s), you can take the credits for each Security Testing instead of accessing cards. You can't trigger two security Testing at the start of your turn, make the run, take the credits for one Security Testing and then access cards though.
Hmm not so sure about that.
One could argue thusly: If the "cost" to gain 2 credits is to forfeit card access for each copy of ST, and you can only logically pay that cost one time per run, you would have to tie them to different servers (and run them) in order to benefit from both ST
You are correct. It's covered in the FAQ under "Replacement Effects." My bad!
If you pick a server with this at the start of the turn, and then subsequently make a successful run on it, do you need to take the 2 creds instead of accessing?
Yes. Nowhere on the card does it suggest the effect is optional.
So you cannot stack effects like account siphon and Security Testing with itself.
Does Security Testing stack with Desperado?
Yes.
Keep in mind that Security Testing is not optional, as mentioned above: the first time you would access cards from a successful run on the chosen server each turn, instead you get paid.
