Edit::
Would just like to clarify this is for the Online FOBS and not your own Single Player Motherbase Upgrades.
FOB - Forward Operating Base
It's been discussed in the MB Coins Pricing thread but I figured I'd make a thread for this so that people can see for themselves whats going on with the FOB situation, if it needs to be closed then by all means lock it down.
This information is relevant to the FOB Online mode.
This guide states it was:
"Written in conjunction with the Metal Gear Solid V development team and offering exclusive game data and insights not available elsewhere."
Guys, I'm looking at the official guide I got today and it states the following:
You must be online to build FOBs. Your first FOB is free of charge.
Additional FOBs must be purchased with MB Coins, aqquired through microtransactions with real-life money.
Theres nothing about earning them ingame from what I can see.

Let me know if I need to take it down for being a scan:
Mother Base (MB Coins)

A fuck ton, if the last screen we have of the FOB prices is still accurate.
FOBs also increase your revenue for single player.
You should add this to the OP-
FOBs let you earn resources for use in SP as well as dictate how many missions you can dispatch soldiers to, 1 FOB=2 active missions at once.
Edit::
I'm probably halfway through the game and the servers aren't even up, so I haven't been able to access an FOB yet.
They don't really seem all that necessary. Yes, some of the "research" times are getting longer in the late game, but I'm pacing my development so that while I'm researching one thing, I'm getting done with another and have a new toy to play with while I do a handful of missions to bide my time.
Is this still a scummy practice? Yes, but it has not presented any huge issues so far in terms of progression.
