I'm trying to do the SideOp #6 (Secure Stun Arm). It is at the power plant. However, I can't find a way to reach the plant.
I picked the closest drop (south of the plant) point but it is a huge rocky place. I tried to walk around it, but no success.
It is quite annoying at the moment.
Soldiers with high skills out in the field are rare. Without the scope the best way to determine an estimate of a soldiers skills is to consider their attire. Soldiers that wear high rank hats for example will have better skills than those who wear common hats. However, the scope is your key source of information on soldiers abilities and skills. Upgrade it as soon as possible, check what requirements you are missing, such as a lower than needed level in a particular ability branch of your Mother Base and do what you can to increase the level. Keep in mind that you also get volunteer soldiers after completing missions, so extracting is not the only means to get skilled soldiers.
The population cap per division as well as the overall cap can be raised by building base structors for that division, building a command base structure raises all divisions population cap. Base structures cost resources and GMP, try to go through different interiors and side outposts in free roam to find the materials needed to upgrade your base.
Fulton costs relatively low GMP to use in the field, try to store up on GMP when you know you will need it for Fulton (and resupply drops). You can build up GMP through doing missions, side ops, and operations with your soldiers. Other ways to gain GMP include extracting animals. Try to do missions sneaky and quickly for big GMP points (multiple hundred thousands), so long as you don't spend your points on upgrades that you don't need right away, you will have plenty of points to spare for Fultons. You can also increase your storage capacity and success rate by increasing your Support division in MotherBase.
It is indeed possible to increase the bond level with your buddies.
For example: D-horse, take it on missions and ride with it.
Actively utilizing your buddy will increase the bond level.
In the end it comes down to which buddies you want to increase the bond level on. Decide which ones and bring them on the missions with you.
In the upper right corner you can see "Diamond Dogs"-icons. These indicate the bond level you have with this particular buddy.
TL;DR : Yes. Bring them on missions with you.
