I have tried a rew times to carry out a Medium base assualt. As soon as the notification comes up I go straight to the relevant base only to find it has gone up to the next level. Has this happened to anybody else?
Now that you say it, I had a similar impression during multiplayer. We were wondering if we missed a notifcation or if only the pop-ups were wrong. But at least two times a base went from level 1 to level 3 on our multiplayer-map. It is working fine one my singleplayer-map.
Like 4 times out of 5 attempt. Been like that since they added Medium base assault.
Doing it the last months I scout all simple bases and place a field radio nearby, and continue with other missions. Then you have to be vigilant because there is no guarantee, sometimes it goes up to Hard really quick, but I succeed with 4 out of 5 now.
Good idea I will adopt that strategy
Tried and failed. This time it went straight to the highest level.
Really? In my singleplayer game, I get my level 1 base, play for some time, get the base to level two, shoot even more robots, and after some time finally have the base at level 3.
But during the last weeks in multiplayer, we got a level one base, we carefully destroyed only a few robots, and suddenly we had a pop up that the base reached level 3. We also checked this base then and it was seriously level 3. And we did not have the feeling that we could have missed something. This happend two times.
It’s some algebra calculated in the background of what is happening in the region where the base is located. It is almost always in Farmlands that they progress very quickly from Easy to Hard level.
And it is in Farmlands that there are almost always conflicts between the Swedish and Russian machines.
The chance to run around and find a killed Rival machine at low level is quite unique also a.k.a. I have less Rivals in Farmlands then other regions because all the skirmishes from airfield going north in Farmlands region. Other regions around has 1 or 2 battlefields, regardles if the region has bases or not, but from them regions with bases they seems to upgrade more slowly.
Downed a Reaper and a Vulture, 6 Tanks, 8 Harvesters, 6 Wolves, who cares how many Runner, Hunters and Lynxes, and 4 Rivals. And guess what. Not a single one of the three empty command points started being rebuilt into a base that we could get to Medium for the mission today. 3 hours of intense hunting and killing every machine we could, and not a single base spawned. Not one. This was in the Farmlands. I am disappoint.
If you had three neutral command points, how many were player owned and how many controlled by FNIX (probably with lvl3 bases)?
There are 12 locations in farmlands, up to 6 can be claimed by players. If there were 3 player controlled and 6 FNIX controlled locations, maybe it just wasn’t possible to get more bases. Eventually the devs reduced to maximum amount of fnix bases per region to the half, too. 
Yes, this does happen from time to time. Personally, I just restart the game after dealing with Rivals and FNIX Bases, which seems to reset whatever is working in the background. After restarting, you will sometimes get all sorts of pop-ups for Bases and Rivals after destroying a single Tick or Seeker.
What the actual ever-loving F**K, man! Half the bases won’t spawn when you need fresh bases to make mediums? And that’s for dailies? I am not just disappoint. I am livid at the literal bull****tery of that design choice.

it makes sense now 
I’ve been trying to get 8 fnix bases back in the forest region like I had at one time BEFORE they added farmland fnix bases 2 years ago, I can’t get more than 4 in there now, owell, at least I know now 
and can stop trying, I was trying to recreate the gnome tick glitch from 2 years ago by maxing them out at 8 fnix bases, owell, it is what it is
at one time you didn’t have to Claim a single base and each Region would just MAX completely out with level 3 fnix bases, if you wanted, owell
So angering. We took out a couple bases and suddenly the new bases started to spawn. There are empty sites and we’re having to kill existing bases to get new ones up. So annoying.
