Sooo the answer is to always disconnect from the internet before you boot up TPP and don't reconnect until you've shut the game down? I have absolutely no interest in doing online FOB stuff when I finally get around to playing this (I got it as a gift) and if it's necessary to have a decent FOB for single player I don;t want to have to kuch around with trying to keep it safe, or insured.

That's the only solution I can think of, yes. Your crew will force you to build an FOB sooner or later, and some resources will be moved there as a result. From the moment you connect yourself to the internet with an FOB, it can be invaded by anyone, and thus lose things in the process if they're sucessful.

Good to know. Thanks to all those people who have beta tested the game for me post launch so I can be forewarned about some of the shit that's being pulled int he microtransaction world.

Also blame for this shit needs to be equally shared between Kojima and Konami. Konami as the publisher of this game has plenty of influence over many aspects of the game, and a decision to not have an opt out of the FOB online shenanigans is as much on Konami as it is on Kojima. Kojima may have wanted this as a compulsory feature, but Konami had the power and authority to say no. And it's totally Konami's call to put microtransactions into this insurance scheme. The FOB concept might be 100% Kojima's mad evil genius idea, but the implementation of it is a collaboration between Kojima and Konami.

Hence #FucKonami is totally legit in this situation, but one may also like to add a #FucKojima at the same time.
