From the perspective of a medium sized corp formed near the beginning of open beta, we would love to see the return of corp battles in some shape or form - primarily to prevent boredom and burnout.
We have dabbled in PC (districts and alliance ringing) but the time pressures put a large number of us off very quickly. We are a casual corp, who really enjoy the game, and want to have fun when real life permits - not be dictated to by the game.
To prevent the grind to cap becoming too tedious we have begun such events as our own 'heavy nova knifing' matches for laughs, but it's rather tricky when it's a pub match and the opposing team are all sporting kalakiota rail rifles!!! The return of a match-type where we could pre-agree the rules/weapons/vehicles etc against corps we knew wanted similar fun would be awesome.
Wouldn't mind mind if there was no payout (the old contract system worked well), although salvage would be a nice touch.

Thought I'd bump this because, as the director of corp containing a great bunch of 'casuals', I really feel we need the return of corp battles in some guise, to give us part-timers something more entertaining than public matches.
For example, our alliance had begun to participate in PFC... just before... well you know!
A few of our players got to play some great matches as part of the alliance, but we couldn't hope to go full-on into PC due to lives outside video gaming & can't be tied down by timers etc. So it's back to pub matches.
What I'm getting at is, a few of us 'vets' who remember playing corp battles still reminisce around the fireside, about how much fun it was, arranging matches with other corps we'd met in open beta & wanted to test ourselves against. Hell, we lost every time, but we had FUN!
I've seen several talented players drift away due to becoming tired of the same maps/game modes etc, yet who couldn't commit to a 'PC corp' due to only being casual players.
I believe the return of a player/corp organised contract where we could stipulate pre-agreed rules (for laughs), set our own contract amount and decide on times to better suit all concerned, would actually help to make the game entertaining for some of us again.
Let the elites fight over ficticious planets, let us fight against friends with dual plasma cannon wielding commandos!
