More FOB = more teams you can send out on combat missions + more staff at bases
If you're worried about your Mother Base, just make sure you stock every dept but security team first, and focus on upgrading motherbase as opposed to FOB (which has base upgrades just like MB). I have 115 guys on my security team but my FOB security level is very low (3?) because I haven't upgraded the platforms. I'm just not worth attacking online. Eventually I will do it just to get some tech I don't have a high enough security level for, though.
I think it's also worth it to apply the lock (L2?) to your most important recruits.
So after a long, long time, I'm beginning to come around on Ocelot in this game. I belive this is the only time we're seeing the "real" Ocelot. And he gets some good moments of showing what he's capable of with his torture scenes and tapes among other things. I still fucking hate that his widow's peak is gone and he just looks kind of dumb, and Troy Baker's performance is kind of underwhelming, but he's alright.
Also, I thought the subsistence missions would at least hook me up with a tranq pistol or something but no. Damn.

JUST FINISHED IT. KOJIMAAAAA.
Haha wow
Shame it was kinda spoiled for me due to a twitter post I saw.
Still, I can finally read the spoiler thread and check youtube for the cut stuff now. I wish you could have slowed the chronology/timeline bit in the credits. Couldn't read it fast enough.

The remote play controls for this game are the worst of all time
I have no idea how I managed to get up the options screen finally allowing me to fix the fact it had set INVERT as the default up down setting.
Tapping the front twice did nothing except that sometimes it would bring up the iDroid. Start would also do that. :S

How do you guys recommend doing side-ops? Do you all go back and replay or forget them?
More end game stuff:
That someone in the photo should be you, from the character creation. Sadly my game bugged and it was just a missing texture, really punctured my ending.

I have been farming soldiers for a long time now. I have started to notice that after some people are let go from the brig, some levels of units randomly drop. Does it start dismissing random people if motherbase gets too full or something? I have no troublemakers, I stopped getting them and dismissed all the ones I have, and nobody is going to medbay.

Haven't noticed that. It will eventual dismiss bad staff if your waiting room is very full but you always have enough space to fill your platforms and more to spare, it tells you when it does it.
I have over 1300 soldiers atm.

I'm doing that, too. 11% after 12 hours. I may have brain damage.
It's SO addicting, though. Best game I've played all year.

Does heroism affect what soldiers ranks you find out in the field, or only volunteers? Because I want to build a nuke.
If it's just volunteers then I don't care, but I kind of enjoy going from post to post looking for S rank soldiers and don't want to lose that.

Not sure, I started seeing soldiers at S rank at around 200k heroism, but that was also right finishing the last story mission. I'm at over 500k now and not much has changed in terms of what kind of soldiers I'm seeing.

Something does, I assume it's that. Most soldiers I see now are a++ to S.
How many hours did it take you to get there? I'm at 50 hours and only 70k

If someone successfully invades your FOB, they get staff from the unit of that platform? When I logged in today someone had invaded my FOB and took 10 staff from my R&D unit. It went from level 58 to 56. Luckily I uploaded my save last night so I just downloaded it and disconnected from the internet and had all my staff back.
10 from the whole pool, excluding direct contracts.
I played mostly stealthy/non-lethal but even then the heroism bonuses start ramping up significantly. I don't know when I finished the last story mission but the time from 0 to 250k was much shorter than 250k to 500k.

I play that way too and I'm in chapter 2 and only that much. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I just got a new story-related Motherbase platform (post mission
):
. Is there a good way to tell
? I just saw 39 get placed in there.

which soldiers are symptomatic
If ya wanna collect heroism look for missions 23 and 25.
Child soldiers are easy to take out and both villages feature a waste amount of children to fulton that give huge bonuses on heroism, like hostages, only that they are many and no other enemy soldiers around that could annoy you.
There is a way. Look what all of them got in common.
I think you're supposed to check the tapes, I recall something about identifying the symptomatic. I... did not care and lost a lot of people and levels.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong, that's the progression of the game. Side Ops are now giving 5000 heroism for completing them and I'm pretty the earlier ones weren't giving even close to that much.

Like the game says, all have one thing in common. Look for that.
Hint 1:
The tapes and what you know about the infection give you fairly direct hints.
Hint 2:
It's a language.
Solution:
It's Kikongo.
Yes. Think. Keep in mind that you can play them loudly with loudspeakers on the iDroid. Think.
Think about the affect they may have on soldiers.

My R&D unit was 170/170. After the invasion it was 160/170. I don't get it?

Someone is going to be very angry with me...
..you do kinda feel like a dick taking every ounce of fuel they had on the platform but it's so damn satisfying at the same time when you take out every single guard in sight, fulton every single one of them, and every single container, all without being detected. People really should beef up their security.

They can get 10 random people out of your entire pool, it has nothing to do with the guys you assign to the security team. In fact, they are extra. They can extra the guards and get them, or not and not get them. But separate from them, they get 10 random soldiers from your entire pool that are not locked when they reach the goal. Any soldier. Everything you aquired. Male. Female. Russian. South African. R&D. Intel. Everything you worked for could flal into the hands of the enemy. It doesn not matter who you assign to the security team or how their alert status ist. Make a maximum defense. Give them all the tools they need or your home will burn, your ressoures will be pillaged, your people will stolen like Shinichiro was in True Tears from the true best girl Noe, fuck that semi-incestual Hiromi that basically only got the guy because the show still had episodes left. Noe was robbed, robbed I say! She was the only genuine interesting character in that anime and her relationship with Shinichiro was not only fine, but very heartwarming, but no, they had to ruin it. I men, for what reason? The show had nothing to do with the original anymore. Could've just made a good ending then. It's such a bother, everytime some shit like that happens.
And this is why you should put on a good defense to keep your people and ressources save before they get NTR'd.

lol. Does the person get to choose any of the staff they steal? I'm still confused. So they were just automatically given 10 staff that all happen to be in R&D?
No.
If they reach the core of the platform they invade on, they get 10 of the staff from Mother Base. If they fulton extract the defense, that's the security team you assigned.
If they invade your command platform, they get 10 random staff from ANY department.
It sounds like they went for your R&D core.
I think this was just bad luck. I always have a lot more people than my divisions can handle, but I think they should get ten people from the whole pool. I could be wrong. My focus was on telling you that you should get the best guards with maximum awareness and all toys and stuff to keep intruders out in the first place so you don't have to worry as much anymore.

Okay, so I just finished building the last platform. My Mother Base is now 100%. And you know what I got?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Yeah, some Heriosm points I don't give a fuck about. No call from Miller, no cool cutscene to show that Mother Base is fully operational. That's 7 times 48,000 units of Fuel goddamnit, it took forever and a half to gather all of that. And for what? The base is still empty, there are still no helicopters or vehicles going around, still no shooting range on the command platform like shown in the E3 2014 trailer, still no Ocelot walking around. There is no activity whatsoever.
So anyway, I went back to the Mother Base gameplay demo they released a month before release to see if I was imagining things.
Notice the formations of helicopters flying around. The UAV drones patrolling. Soldiers driving around. Two soldiers even seem to be jogging around.
This is straight up bullshit and they lied to everyone. Why is no one slamming Konami/Kojima for this? If Ubisoft would've pulled this they would've been destroyed by the media.
I don't know what the hell went wrong with this game in the final stages of development, but good lord something went completely off the rails.

Eh, Ubisoft gets shit for keeping fetting in trouble with the same shit. Here we know about the divide between Konami and Kojima. It's different. I slam Kojima for the botcged chsracters, but the is clearly unfinished and was rushed out, so I won't complain about quality of life features
The Phantom Build
I don't think it's much of a surprise that the game wasn't fully 'finished'. Kojima could have spent another year adding stuff if he had the chance.
