FOB guard rank assingments

Is there any point of using S-S++ guards on your platform? Unless you're cheating, and have an infinate source, should you really bother?

People just seem to drop in my FOB, steal a few S ranks guards, get themselves killed, and not give a crap.

It seems a downer to keep them there if they only get helplessly kidnapped and you have to go rescue them back again. There isn't so much noticable difference I've noticed between A++ and S anyways... yeah, the invasion time is less on the platform and they carry out searches for invaders longer, but still....

Thoughts?

Put enough S++ soldiers on your security team to reach level 99 and put them under direct contract. They will not be deployed for FOB defenses.

Deployed they are a nightmare because they are quicker and have a better vision.... I got some but..... it won't stop a cheater or a good player.

That's what I'm thinking. S++ on contract, the rest A++. Anything higher just attracts soldier thieves.

Nope, I'm legit, otherwise you would have saw something like "Deathraven13 is a cheater !!!", what's the point of playing if everything is too easy ?

K. I got the wrong idea I guess.

EDIT: Ha! Unlikely.

thing is. Soldiers count towards Damage dealt. which also counts towards revenge wormholes. i think stealing one soldier is ok. but more makes a RW appear.

meaning you can just steal em back.

What i dont get is increasing the unit level of the security team increases the defence level even without any available s++'s. I go from 47-50 with no change in personel

No i mean, literally, i just go into the security settings and move to s++ from s (baring in mind my security team only has s level staff, they get moved if their stats change) and the security level on the FOB increases

Yes that is a trick I use to lower my security level on paper without actually lowering it in reality. Have 1 E rank soldier on your security team under direct contract and you can select E rank soldiers in the security settings. Higher level security discourages unskilled players but attract skilled players / hackers, while lower security level attracts noobs who get destroyed on your first platform expecting an easy time.

No, if they're in your invader's FOB brig, you have a set time to rescue them from there, and not fultoning them of the actual platform. Once they join the invader from his brig tho, of course they become his men.

I've had some idiot fulton 18,1, then 11 guards from me and open a retaliation for me on the last 11 extraction. He can keep them, because when I eventually do retaliate, I'm taking resources, guns, high rank soliders, every f*#@ing thing that isn't nailed down and murdering all the guards I don't give a #*@& about.

He'll learn the hard way he shouldn't have #&@*ed with my base in the first place.

Oh, and It'll be a ghost as well so our affairs will be conclusive.

MWWWHAHAHAHA!!

Ok, evil vengence and laughter aside tho, solider pinching is lame. Wish ppl didn't do it so much
