I did it and had no repercussions (although I did rescue all 6 of hostages).
One thing. Cut the internet while playing mission 22!
Do not go online, not even if it means developing a cure for cancer will never happen!
Keep offline.
Go online when you build your mother base completely so you don't care for resources people will nick from you during the night while you're sleeping or while at work.
And you want them all not to know what happens.
Don't believe I see you giving out any information here.
Once you Build an FOB, ANY soldier in your Mother Base not under direct contract can be stolen by a successful invasion into your Forward Operating Base. ANYONE on the Security team is vulnerable to being killed, maimed, or fultoned during an invasion of the FOB, whether or not the invader succeeds.
resources can be stolen, but only from the FOB, as it generates its own pool of resources. once resources are autmatically refined they are immune to invasion damage. so losing resources to invasion isn't a really big deal.
defending an invasion while online is almost garanteed, but some damage may still occur. retaliate against the attacker's FOB successfully and you can save stolen troops.
there are several main issues right now that make deciding whether or not to go online a big decision. FOB content is INSECURE, and there are hackers invading peoples bases. its not often, but it happens.
the tutorial FORCES you to build an FOB once you beat mission 22. unless you stay offline. staying offline after mission 22 only works if you never go online ever again, ever. as going online will update your save and remove stolen soldiers from your mother base.
the third issue, although minor, is you cannot add steam friends to FOB defense lists, just random people. Follow as many as you can, you get defense alerts when their invaded and offline, you are paid LARGE SUMS OF DOSH, for defending them successfuly, which is easy. the same goes for people who follow you and see an alert when you are offline. getting a large list of followers is important, but there is a smallish (20?) amount of people you can follow.
you now know everything about FOB, choice is yours. i play online, and deal with hackers with an extremely explosive loadout with stun weapons, to delay them as long as possible. bigger the base the easier this is.
They played me like a damn fiddle!!!
online is still fun, but make sure to choose now whether to nuke the save and start again, or direct contract your most valuable people. now you must defend your base from real invaders.
heres some tips: higher the security team level, harder it is to invade, PLUS, when your are successfully invaded, the blockade against new attacks is longer. do not have an empty fob, you will be farmed.
for an extremely defensive FOB, do several things:
throw as much fodder as you can into your Defense team, long term, fill it with straight A soldiers, and learn not to care about their heath. soon enough every enemy soldier ingame will be an A in some class, and even better.
focus on only one platform, and level it to 4. this means the Command platform. this does makes invasion MUCH harder, and pretty much leaves only the security team vulnerable. every level, the invader must invade an extra platform.
max out the security settings. the price is not much, the defense is much better. setting the defenders to Snipers means they will more easily spot invaders, and they will love to pour in accurate shots at the invader from medium to long range, a deadly combo forcing ivnaders into cover or death. a few will have actual rifles, they will be dangerous.
research and max out security devices. they improve defense vastly.
use explosives and stun weapons against hackers. the goal here is to fulton them out. get dirty, fulton them, steal their character. A hacker may make you invincible as well as them. do not lose sight of them, and play as dirty as possible. sleep gas, spam grenades, anti material rifles, grenade launchers. do your worst, stun them, throw them overboard or balloon them away.
