A great blog, well presented information and I'm very glad you're going to iterate and keep a hand on the tiller, steering the good ship FW after deployment properly this time.
I've been around FW since the start and I'm quite excited by all these changes.
The best thing being the LP for PVP buff!
I do have a few questions and concerns though (much like everyone else): 
1. System upgrades - Please give us a list of the upgrades possible, and roughly their order of value if it is 1-5. I'm all in favour of lower market taxes and more efficient manufacturing/research in lowsec.
2. Datacores - Please clarify if you are changing the existing method of collecting datacores from agents in various R&D corps more than just the multiplier and 10k base cost per datacore. Is FW a supplemental source of cores or will it be the sole source of cores after Inferno? Thanks. As other have mentioned, Mechanical Engineering is a rather tricky case putting them all in one militia LP store could end up in a bottleneck.
3. I have a concern about the upgrades applying neutrals. I appreciate the "get more people" doing industry in low sec is a good thing, but I am worried that major alliances and pirate groups will simply move in and have alts farm one system to fully upgraded so the pirate/large alliance that has nothing to do with 99% of FW can reap all the rewards.
4. System upgrades - Can you tell me what slots this creates, and if in a FW station with no research and manufacturing, you can now potentially upgrade it to have research and manufacturing? This would be awesome (but not unless you reserve some number of slots for FW characters only).
5. Non station FW systems - We need more reasons to upgrade these systems other just than some overall war 'tide' effect. Please consider a POS fuel reduction, cyno-jammers and perhaps some harvestable resource upgrade like booster gas clouds spawning there or something to add some 'life' and consequences to these systems too.
6. Please consider adding Mindlink Implants to FW LP stores. This would fit in quite well racially (even though being Gallente we'd get the crappiest one  ). Potentially you could get Outer Ring Excavation loosely in on FW at some later date for the mining mindlink which would be rather cool.
All in all some fantastic changes and you're making FW much more dynamic, fun and have real consequences. I'm looking forward to how all this pans out. Cheers. |

Julius Foederatus above makes some good points.
I just wanted to post this quick idea - what about having missions be offered to you based on your pvp or plexing effort?
For example make a couple of good kills or take a couple of plexes and you get a mission offer? Might combat the farmers a bit. |

I got a tinfoil hat just for you.
But yeah, minimum datacore price just gifts t2 bpo owners more isk per run.
t2 bpos are relics of the past and need removal/nerfing to insignificance. |
