The thread's relevant even in 2023 because nowadays it's harder than ever to recruit for an FC.
Basically as the leader of a community free company, you are tasked with convincing potential recruits that they should join your FC and be at the mercy of their whims in regards to housing decoration/submarine management/fc buffs instead of...
a) making their own fc
b) using their own fc to form their own fc house that they can decorate as much as they want
c) use that same house to build a fleet of moneyprinting submarines
d) have full access to fc buffs that they use when they want, how they want
e) and then when they wanna talk to folks, just make a cwls and invite their bros to that
Odds are, you won't be able to compete with the tantalizing allure of solo-FC ownership and you'll find most of your members leaving to make shell FCs of their own, or maybe they'll leave the DC altogether to get a house on dynamis. This is probably an issue in 2023, but honestly due to the server-locked nature of them, FCs feel a bit antiquated in general.
