After struggling at mission 29 for hours last night I got an S in few minutes today. How cool is that ?

Do side Ops, do casettes, do main missions over for S-rank or side-objectives...

No it's not. Only certain tapes with in-game uses [like the toilet tape] decay over time.
whoever said to camp up at the top of the hanger with the antimaterial rifle saved my life

Is there a place (link) where I can find all the locations of shipping containers that can be fultoned out?

There are no checkpoints inBackup, Backdown?
Its a fairly easy mission.
Get a launcher. Keep on calling supply to back you up. If you're not aiming for S rank, use air strike inside the base to destroy one tank camping in. Poop on the road to spin the Jeep that arrives and extract prisoners. Make sure you sit by the base near the fork on the road to get the most out of this mission.

You literally only have to smash one piggybank to pass that mission, I think? That is easy enough.

If you're not aiming for S rank,
Use sleeping gas aerial strike on her. You just have to mark her and hide until she runs to another spot. Repeat once more and she'll die.
I'm like 90% sure its combat that does it.
I tried transferring like 10 high rank R&D into security team and levels up barely moved. I transferred like 10 high rank combat and my level jumped up by like 10.

You send them out on missions and their stats boost, but there might be other ways. I occasionally get a message saying a unit has levelled up when nothing else has been happening.

Guess who completed that mission by destroying most of the targets, got in the helicopter to leave, and was immediately shot down and had to start over?

the wandering p. sideops are so boring. can't even speed things up with quiet since they hide in buildings. shitty enemy design too.
oh yeah i've beaten it, i just thought it was a little ridiculous since it seemed pretty easy to add a checkpoint after
tank 1, 2, or whatever.

No joke, I haven't quit out of the game since I believe last Wednesday, it has been running this whole time as I process materials, construct platforms, develop weapons and run combat deployments and missions.

Easily one of my favourite things to do in this game:

So much fun! In Ground Zeroes Snake would just snap back to a standing position if you tried to dive off of a ledge so I'm glad they changed it for TPP.

I like that if you dive up stairs from the very bottom it slides you right to the top.
in the Database it shows me how many total animals I've collected (14/47) but how can I tell which ones I already collected and which ones still need to be collected?...it shows you the name of the animal and 2 icons...some of the listings have a question mark instead of an animal name
The ones that you have an image of (not the little icon) are the ones you have captured.
When flying back to MB you have to press Triangle or the corresponding key/button to visit the Animal Conservatorium.
What about animals that have an image but no description?
thanks, makes sense now...so the ones with the icon but no image means I've seen or tagged them in the wild but have not captured them yet?...and the ones with no icon and just a question mark means I haven't spotted them at all yet in the wild?
Focus on something with a high grade in fuel resources. Those are the most important. I'd recommend the waters that have B B B - - as the grade. The first 3 minerals are more important than the last 2, and Fuel is the absolute most valuable.

So how do you get an S ranking? Is it based off the total of points?
Finish the primary objectives super fast without setting off an alert (you might be allowed one or two).
You can just camp in the north a little bit passed the the closest base with D-Horse and the EMP Mines. The horse will stop every tank except the last pair long enough for you to run up and fulton them out. I start the mission by running into the first base, taking that tank, then just waiting up north. Simple. Clean.
S-Rank = Get 130,000 points.

Speed is the key factor in all this. Finishing a mission in less than 10 minutes nets you 120,000 points, so you're practically done if you manage that.
You just need 130 000 points. How you get them doesn't matter, you get points for pretty much everything (getting headshots, marking, neutralizing enemies, avoiding detection, side objectives, etc) but the most reliable way often is just be fast. You can often get that 130k just from the time bonus alone.
The other way is ghosting a mission (never firing a shot or leaving anything behind, touching an enemy, perfect stealth) which gives you the no trace bonus. On top of the other stealth related bonuses, it's pretty much a guaranteed S-rank.

Awesome. thanks for the info!

It doesn't matter where you place it. Just go with whatever materials you want to automatically mine.

Quiet Spoilers:
Oh the effing irony. Despite getting her bond rating to 100 as quickly as possible in Chapter 1, I never ended up getting the butterfly emblem. I thought it was tied to story progression, so I kept going with as few spoilers as possible. Then side op #
happens and she's gone. I finally complete Mission #
... and now I get the butterfly emblem. Almost more fitting this way, but I hate the consequences... =(
