so what's the deal with like running a base in mgs5

is it like assassin's creed style where you can do missions to upgrade your hq or whatever?

you kidnap guards, and then they go to your base to work for you.
each guard has a rating in several categories so they can research and develop new weapons for you, or like do intel work, or go into your combat unit which can make you money.

yes but there's a lot more to it

honestly assassin's creed can learn a ton from MGSV

Not totally

you ~~kidnap~~ fulton soldiers out of the field (your binoculars scan enemies and show their stats- E-S++, in multiple fields), and they just kinda...join because hey you're big boss. Some will have to sit in the brig to be convinced for a while but they all join inevitably.

You can manually place or auto-place soldiers into your Support (determines fulton success rates, supply drop success rates, what they can drop, the ability to lay down artillery/smoke support ,etc), Intel (auto-marks general area guards are in on your map, tells you incoming weather, alerts you to vehicles/etc coming into the area, etc), R&D (item development), Combat (dudes you send on away missions that give lots of resources/money/recruits), Medical (helping your guys recover from injury/ptsd/etc, other stuff), base development (automatic resource aquirement).

Some soldiers will have special skills, like being a "gunsmith" for a specific type of weapon which opens up different upgrades and makes them cheaper if you put them in the R&D team. Or stuff like "Vehicle Specialist" which can let you learn how to fulton out vehicles. Stuff like that.

It can also be negative; namely "Troublemakers" who put your other members in the medbay because they like to fight, harass, or get everyone sick by being disgusting goons

You increase your staff limits by building extra platforms. As the game progresses what your individual groups can do gets better and better.

Check your combat deployments. Combat deployments at the bottom of the list for "destroying shipments" will actually reduce the amount of whatever equipment you destroy being used in the field.

I keep having to destroy their helmet shipments since I constantly get headshots.

reminds me of the mission system in star trek online. they hosed the actual game so badly that the most fun part was just assigning people to random meaningless missions from your deck of crew

honestly would pay $ for a decent TNG-like crew management game

Is there a guide to the locations of the soldiers with special skills you can find on missions provided they're relatively static? I'm getting really loving annoyed trying to find some of these assholes.

nah i took the government approach of why buy one when you can buy 4 and already gifted some away

its a well-done platform and the workshop selection is good, but i was expecting more scripted control of turns/rules/etc was possible and common, rather than just awkwardly fumbling with virtual pieces. will be fun if i dig my oculus out of the closet

MGS3, Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes set up the plot for 5. you don't have to play any of them - there's tapes and flashbacks - but MGS3 is really good, and a couple of things won't make much sense without at least having played GZ
