Nothing to do at Mother Base?

[Roboute Guilliman]

Besides keeping morale up at Mother Base, what is the purpose of going there? I don't get to actually see the R&D department, soldiers training, or any indoor space at all. I can't even find Ocelot or Kaz anywhere. It's just an oil platform with some ladders.

Am I missing anything? I'm only 7 hours or so in to the game so maybe that has something to do with it.

I've noticed this too. And I can't pass any of those target practice missions on the platorms, and I must have 5-6 by now.

You will eventually unlock target practice missions for your tranq guns. As well as build more and more platforms you can explore...they are different, so they migh tbe worth exploring if you like. You can find some rough diamods too. There are also cutscenes every now and again.

It is a visual representation of what you have built so far. That is its main purpose. You watch it grow as you play. And it grows a lot.

There is an easy one on the medical platform.

Dude... Are you dense?

Yea holy jesus, I get to like 25 targets and just can't find them. It's a damn maze XD.

Mother base is littered with Rough Diamonds all over the place,. nice way to get some extra GP

mother base is pretty empty for a base with 1000 men... just a soldier here and there and thats it... pretty lame actually. when i saw the XOF base i saw the difference.

[Stinkyremy]

a few things:
there are target practise, all of which are easy and straight forward apart from on the RnD platform thats a tough one. great wat to make quick gmp
there is something at the top of the medical tower, inside, i wont spoil go find it.
there is something at the bottom of the RnD platform, when you have huey, again wont spoil.
there are 2 c-box posters, loads of emblem parts and diamonds to be found.
diamonds are on each strut, so you can get a crap load of gmp if you hunt them all, well over 1mil, just interogate MB soldiers to mark them on your map.
if you extract certain animals and a specific enough you will find cassettes of them in the animal platform which can come in use.
quiet will be in the brig on the medical platform.
not taking a regular shower will reduce your reflex mode time, if you use that crap.
staff moral increase. also they give you some tips and unique comical relief dialogue
specific cutscenes you need to go back to MB for and could miss them
also it is bad ass flying around Mother Base and seeing what you are achieving.
best time to play cassettes instead of sitting in the ACC listening to them

I need to admit the lack of interaction or being able to see how R&D actually is in motion is a little disappointing. I speak constructivley ofcourse.

I love the game, no complaints mostly; the fact that we have a metal gear game released is better then no metal gear game released.

But moving on, more interaction would be nice when visiting mother base. I mean if you spend so much time on side ops etc. And you work hard on base development, looking for high rank soldiers I think all the people who play this game should be entitled to some neat stuff when going on base.

All in all though I'll be grateful for what I have, but as gamers we always strive to see or have more from our interactive experiences.

Thanks for the information guys. I didn't mean to come across as if I'm complaining. I love the game and I've never played a Metal Gear game before.

Like a few of you said, I think it would be really cool to be able to go inside and see stuff actually happening in each department. I wouldn't need much more than that. It's just a constructive critisizm.

I look out for the diamonds and target practice.
