Automatic Staff Removal Question

[Technal]

Just curious; when I meet the capacity and I'm told a staff is automatically dismissed, does it go in order of rank or when I got them? For example, if I get a S++ staff member and someone is automatically dismissed to make space, will it be someone like E grade or the staff member I got ages ago?

Yup, that's how it works, when your base gets full the staff members with the lowest levels will get fired when you capture people with higher levels.

This is true. However it has a odd issue where if you have staff that you adore or has a vital skill, it will not take that into account when dismissing old staff. Additionally, it does not take new skills into account when recruiting staff into a full PF. So if you are looking to recruit someone, it's advised you dismiss people first so that you have room, and to direct contract any staff you want to keep.

In fact, while I'm on the subject, Direct Contract any and all staff you would feel heartache upon losing. It does not protect from the Vocal Cord parasite outbreak (At least not the first one.) but it does protect them from death (Either caused by a FoB attack or while player controlled), being fultoned away while player controlled, and from being captured by hostile players. The downside however is that they cannot be depolyed on dispatch missions or used as security guards on FoBs. But if you reserve DCs for who you adore and/or use often as your player character and those who have high stats you don't want to lose, you'll have more then enough slots and more then enough reserves in your security team to act as guards.

@Yukimare I've direct contacted my interpreters. Other than that, I think I should be alright.

Don't worry about direct contracting interpreters. Despite what the game implies with needing them to translate for you, as soon as you get the interpreter, your comms support for that language will jump to S, and unlike logic would suggest, you do not lose that even if you dismiss them or someone kidnaps the interpreter or kills them in a FoB mission. As soon as you get them (Even for long enough to registure them), you will forever be able to understand the language they interpreted. In fact, it's not outright said and it's only shown in one tiny little detail in the game, but Venom learns the language as well upon getting the interpreter.

This is best seen with The White Mamba; reaching him and triggering the cutscene where you start the fight with him after a upfront confrontation will lead to Venom's dialogue varying based on if you got the Kikongo interpreter or not before, even if you dismissed him 2 seconds later. If you failed to get the Kikongo interpreter, Venom will simply speak english to Eli. But if you got the Kikongo interpreter, Vemon will fluently speak Kikongo to Eli before the boss fight. You can look up youtube videos about this as well.

So... TL;DR don't worry about interpreters. Once you have all 4 interpreters, Venom knows every language he needs, and he can function independently without them.

Heck, why not. Don't mind me derailing a bit to show the detail. This is if you got the Kikongo interpeter beforehand, even if you dismissed him later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gYkrENtDDs
