I have pushed my Corp into doing PCs. Raiding is a great start because it removes the need to get the top tiered players from your corp and gives everyone a chance to try it out.
I am a vet from long ago so I remember when we barely had the SP for proto guns and proto suits, so an advanced suit with proto gun was king.
Now people have 100s of millions of SP.
The raids should be performed by as many corps as can initiate them, and put your squad in public with the ETA, Raid and Challenger. I have done that so many times now, every weekend I have random people flocking to me asking me when I am running my next PC.
I FC these and the best strategy is to follow the below steps:
*Break up the team into 2-3 groups (If I get pubs, I go from the position of your name unless you have a function)
*Tell that team what type of role they will play (Assault team (Light and Fast), Defense Team (1 AV, Couple logis, HMG), etc.)
*Tell people where they are spawning in at
*Assume players know what they are doing
*Be funny and have fun - You are getting beat, call out who is dying and what was funny, call for vengeance, mix it up
*Know you are going to lose most likely and walk in knowing that - This needs to be at the for front of the conversation (This is not a super serious PC. We will try to flip but aren't expecting it. Not saying this pisses people off.)
FCing is a thankless job that sucks ballz. The result though is making more friends in Dust and getting some respect.
Hell, we are starting to run raids back to back so we can hammer them out.
If you think you aren't good enough for a PC, message me and I will drag you into one and test it out. You may lose, but you get to walk out on the field in pads.
The Miami Dolphins always suit up, so why can't you!

Blaziken - You are funny. The main problem with being an FC is that you have to saddle the blame for the losses, acknowledge your best players, and sometimes you have to be the Ahole who has to straighten people out (I have had to do that only a couple of times). If you have never had that issue, you aren't using randoms too often. A lot of us have to deal with that.
Being FC is also satisfying because you feel needed. You are in charge. The problem is that too often there is a power struggle between the FC and people who want to be in charge. Also the FC has to show up early and organize everyone, talk about a job!
I love FCing because I get respect as someone who can kill and still command. I respect other FCs because I know they can play the giant chess game. The problem is you are Cortana and everyone wants to be the Master Chief.
BTW - Booby Tuesday - I remember you. Yeah, you leashed me a lot back in the day. I am sending you an invite to a PC I run! Then you can enjoy sitting back and simply show off your skills.
