You have stated that it is "what all mercs should strive for" but I see it only as a more work intensive game mode that requires more planning, time, and ISK in order to play (IE, less fun). "Your corporation has 10 districts!" doesn't really make the individual want to do it. Allow me to paraphrase Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw:
(Speaking about World of Warcraft):
"I asked a raider 'why do you raid?'. They replied 'to get the best equipment.' I followed with 'what do you use the best equipment for?'. Their response: 'to raid with'."
That is kind of the same thing with PC except you don't get any of the best equipment so it is "I need the best equipment/tactics/SP/fittings to PC" but you don't get anything out of it. It only requires without giving. I understand that PC with Capsuleers being able to drop the hammer (and deliver some indiscriminate justice) is one of the unique selling points in DUST but I really have to ask why it is something that "all mercs should aspire (to do)"?
Glad to see that it is being worked on. Thanks for the update and for reaching out to the community for assistance! A part of this revamp is finding a unique, non power creep, reward, such as but not limited to district unique customization f.ex. Thing about raiding, and difficult things, is that the fun is in the doing, it's not for everyone, but there is meaning in it, even if others find it repetitive or boring. Some of my best gaming experiences were WoW raids, but not "just for the loot to get better loot", it's not as simple as that. I also play W40k that takes hours to plan, even more hours to paint (if you do that) , make terrain, get your stuff to a friends house, all for a battle that may be lost in the first round. It's still fun.
The problem right now is that the rewards don't equal the time investment. Also there are too few people interested in the setting up. The logistical burden falls on a few people and they often burn out faster than they can be replaced.

The thing we've been doing with putting your squads in corp squad finder to build squads is pretty ingenious, but it wouldn't work in most corps because you'd have jackasses jumping in those squads.
We need a team builder UI in a bad way. I think many FCs would probably have paid quite a bit of money for one. How many hours wasted saying, "how many in your squad??"?
Yeah a team builder would have just as much if not more use for PC as it does for faction warfare.

That was for a complex in match commander. Luther'a idea is more of an out of match cat herder.
The cat herding is real.

More broadly, are we conceding that even in PC, OMS will not be allowed to be placed directly by the Defender? As it is, the majority of OMS locations are hardly optimal for defense of Skirmish Maps. It seems obvious to me that since turrets operate in parallel with vehicle modules that they'd be a simple and straightforward resource sink for District upgrades and customization without insurmountable odds for the Attacker.
Socket positions are hard coded into the maps so unique placement of turrets isn't possible, so yes you have to concede that defender-placed isn't possible.
Rather than some overly complex system I'd just like a 17th man "on the field" that always has the map view up, can issue orders to squads, and is responsible for dropping warbarge strikes and orbitals.

Since when are OMS Installations Sockets?
They can be removed quite easily from within the 'Sockets' (complexes of buildings/structures that may or may not also contain OMS infrastructure) as evidenced by Ambush mode Sockets.
Remember there IS a menutab in game for their delivery..
in-Match, select 4-way Left, scroll down:
Vehicles
Off Map Support
Installations
Yeah, have to ask CCP, but basically always. Not talking about building sockets Obviously.
Customizing locations of turrets on the fly player side is actually impossible in the current system. Turrets can only go where they have been set up to go on CCP's end.
Something you just have to accept as part of the legacy code.

CCP Rattati wrote:One question, and this is a crazy one. If we were to setup a system that allows a SKIN to take into account the Corporation Name. Would corporations be interested in having CCP customize, based on request, a corp skin that would be available in the marketplace, but say "This SKIN only appilies if you are in D-Uni", for example? I don't have the tech yet, but this seems fairly awesome, so I would love to get your feedback. A bit of a off-topic, but I already have 30 plus top corp emails joining the cause, so I'm happy. 
Would be AMAZING!

Looking forward to seeing what PC can change and become. Just so long as we don't see a return to the days of nobody fighting and the big blue donut. There is an exploit that needs to be stamped out. If everyone wants to just hold hands and sing kumbaya, I still don't think I have an answer for that  The obvious answer is for CCP to log into the accounts of certain CEO's of PC involved corps, and send hateful profane messages to other CEO's. That will get the wars started.

If you are curious about how current PC mechanics work take a look at this guide: http://biomassed.net/2015/04/30/planetary-conquest-a-guide-to-the-dark-art/
I tried my best to condense all of the current PC rules down into one place. Hope it helps!
